From Infoscale Ansible v2.4.0 onwards the veritas_infoscale.py will be shipped as an Ansible collection.

Use the following command to install the Ansible collection if the Ansible version is greater than or equal to 2.9.10:

ansible-galaxy collection install veritas-infoscale-<release_version>.tar.gz

Use the following command to upgrade the local Ansible collection:

ansible-galaxy collection install veritas-infoscale-<release_version>.tar.gz --force

The InfoScale Ansible collection installation occurs in the following path:

/root/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/veritas/infoscale/

If the Ansible version is not compatible for collections (<2.9.10), then you need to untar the tar file and navigate to the following file path:

veritas/infoscale/plugins/modules/veritas_infoscale.py inside the tar file and move the veritas_infoscale.py to /usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules/ to use it as a module.
