-====== Ansible - CMOS ======
-In our previous step we [[stack - ansible - update|updated Ubuntu]] on our [[Stack of NUCs]].
-Now we are going to create and run an Ansible playbook to check the CMOS battery health on the nodes. Using /proc/driver/rtc instead of lm-sensors and sensors because it doesn't show the CMOS battery health.
-Purpose:
-  * Demonstrate a simple lineinfile checker
-  * Check for any CMOS batteries that need to be replaced
-  * Demonstrate setting the hardware (RTC) clock from the system clock
-====== Step 1 - Connect to the Ansible Control Node ======
-From [[Stack - NUC 1|NUC 1]], log in to the Ansible control node, [[Stack - NUC 2|NUC2]].
-====== Step 2 - Create the Playbook ======
-Create file /home/ansible/my-project/cmos-check.yml
-<file yaml cmos-check.yml>
