Hi,

Im also facing the same issue. Getting error on scm template task. I have modified the inventory file with FQDN also and I have done all possible things but couldn't figure out what is the issue. Appreciated if anyone can provide us quick solution.

TASK [scm : Prepare CMS template] ****************************************************************************
task path: /root/cloudera-playbook/roles/scm/tasks/cms.yml:9

fatal: [cloudera1.rlcatalyst.com]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "AnsibleUndefinedVariable: 'dict object' has no attribute u'cloudera1.rlcatalyst.com'"}

===================================================================
Inventory file details:
[root@ansible] cat hosts

Note for AWS: 'Public DNS' name is too long for ansible_host, use 'Public IP' (ansible/ansible#11536)

I also had such issues with the role, but after many fixes and improvments, I got it working to deploy a cluster on AWS, and for latest CDH-6.2 !
As a passionate open source contributor, I created nice PRs with the various improvements (waiting to be accepted, since days ago I submitted contributor paperwork),
but I suggest you and others having issues, to try out my branch https://github.com/scigility/cloudera-playbook/tree/scigility that contains all my fixes (but just does not contain any upstream commits since the 20.5.2019)

Hello. This issue would occur if the hostnames in inventory file are different to the hostnames reported by each node's Cloudera Manager agent. Using short names instead of FQDNs is one possibility, and DNS configuration (or misconfiguration) is another.
