The following is an example of a completed host_inventory file.
# ServAssure NXT Host Inventory
# All ServAssure NXT Hosts below
# Listed by ROLE
# MULTI-INTERFACE SUPPORT
# Every ServAssure NXT host specification can be supplied with an alternative interface to use to bind to instead of the default.
# To specify the alternate interface per host, use the "use_eth_interface" host variable.
# To specify the alternate interface's hostname if it is set up in DNS, use the "use_custom_fqdn" host variable.
#
# Example: [nxt_engine]
#<hostname> ansible_host=<private_ip> use_eth_interface=ens224 use_custom_fqdn=nxtcache1alternate.lab.domain.net
#
# These need to be configured per host in the inventory, or if all hosts use the same interface name, it can be placed in site-vars.
# The syntax for defining this information is the same across all groups (appserver,solr,cassandra,nxt_engine,etc.)

[all:vars]
# envars - Full path and filename of the "ServAssure NXT" site specific variables file

# ctvip - Cache Tier VIP or Proxy/LoadBalancer IP. Mainly used by Application Servers and Ingress Data.
# stvip - Search Tier VIP or Proxy/LoadBalancer IP. Mainly used by Cache Tier Nodes for Search.
# atvip - Application Tier VIP or Proxy/LoadBalancer IP. Mainly used by Application Servers.
# ntvip - Node API Tier VIP or Proxy/LoadBalancer IP. Used by Node API.
# Notes: "ctvip", "stvip" and "atvip" may be the same depending on environment.
# Could be "haproxy" host defined in inventory if used.
# If you are implementing the HA mode for HAProxy, then the Virtual IP set in the "HAPROXY_HA_VIP"
# variable in site_vars is what you would use here.
