# vi setup-convert2rhel.yml

----Note :- copy the playbook---

- Check the syntax of playbook

# ansible-playbook setup-convert2rhel.yml --syntax-check

- Run the playbook setup-convert2rhel.yml

# ansible-playbook setup-convert2rhel.yml

Step6 :- run convert2rhel utility


- Check the syntax of playbook

# ansible-playbook run-convert2rhel.yml --syntax-check


- Run the playbook run-convert2rhel.yml

# ansible-playbook run-convert2rhel.yml
