Example: How to Run the Configuration File

In the /root/ExecutionServer folder (or opt/ExecutionServer for Linux machines on Azure or AWS), run the appropriate command:

• To use this Execution Server for general operations:

  mono QsExecutionServerConsoleConfig.exe /s:ServerAddress /u:User/p:Pass /esn:ESName

  For example:

  mono QsExecutionServerConsoleConfig.exe /s:192.168.30.56 /u:admin /p:admin /esn:ESName

• To use this Execution Server for Ansible configuration management operations, you need to set the /ansible flag, which tells CloudShell to use this Execution Server to run Ansible plauybooks.

  mono QsExecutionServerConsoleConfig.exe /s:ServerAddress /u:admin /p:admin /esn:ExecutionServerName /ansible /a:"{'Execution Server Selector':'CloudShellDomain'}"

  Use the Execution Server Selector attribute if you have several Execution Servers that support Ansible but want to dedicate this Execution Server for Ansible operations.

  For example:

  mono QsExecutionServerConsoleConfig.exe /s:192.168.35.41 /u:admin /p:admin /esn:ExecutionServerName /ansible /a:"{'Execution Server Selector':'London'}"

  Notes:

  • The same Execution Server Selector value must be specified in the Execution Server Selector attribute on the Ansible Configuration service model in Resource Manager Client (in the Configuration Services family).
  • To run Ansible on App-deployed Windows VMs, WinRM must be enabled on those VMs. For additional information, see the CloudShell online help's Ansible documentation.
