Euca 5 Ansible Install Skipping Node Actions

Question

I'm trying to use the Euca 5 ansible installer to install a single server for all services "exp-euca.lan.com" with two node controllers "exp-enc-[01:02].lan.com" running VPCMIDO. The install goes okay and I end up with a single server running all Euca services including being able to run instances but the ansible scripts never take action to install and configure my node servers. I think I'm misunerdstanding the inventory format. What could be wrong with the following? I don't want my main euca server to run instances and I do want the two node controllers installed and running instances.

 --- all: hosts: exp-euca.lan.com: exp-enc-[01:02].lan.com: vars: vpcmido_public_ip_range: "192.168.100.5-192.168.100.254" vpcmido_public_ip_cidr: "192.168.100.1/24" cloud_system_dns_dnsdomain: "cloud.lan.com" cloud_public_port: 443 eucalyptus_console_cloud_deploy: yes cloud_service_image_rpm: no cloud_properties: services.imaging.worker.ntp_server: "xxxx" services.loadbalancing.worker.ntp_server: "xxxx" children: cloud: hosts: exp-euca.lan.com: console: hosts: exp-euca.lan.com: zone: hosts: exp-euca.lan.com: nodes: hosts: exp-enc-[01:02].lan.com:

All of the plays related to nodes have a pattern similar to this where they succeed and acknowledge the main server exp-euca but then skip the nodes.

Answer 1

It should be node , not nodes , ie:

node:
  hosts:
    exp-enc-[01:02].lan.com:

The documentation for this is currently incorrect.
