Management playbooks against active and / or standby server

[boneyard]

When i'm using Ansible against the management API, so for firewall objects, rules, smart console administrator accounts. The cp_mgmt_* modules.

Should I run the Ansible playbook against both the active and standby smart management server (SMS) or only the active?

Version 81.10.

Only the active. You can't make changes on a standby management.

Yeah makes sense, thank Bob.

Used to that in Smart Console, but with Ansible there is no hint it won't work on the standby managent.
