Ansible VMware FAQ¶
vmware_guest¶
Can I deploy a virtual machine on a standalone ESXi server ?¶
Yes. vmware_guest
can deploy a virtual machine with required settings on a standalone ESXi server.
Is /vm
required for vmware_guest
module ?¶
Prior to Ansible version 2.5, folder
was an optional parameter with a default value of /vm
.
The folder parameter was used to discover information about virtual machines in the given infrastructure.
Starting with Ansible version 2.5, folder
is still an optional parameter with no default value.
This parameter will be now used to identify a user’s virtual machine, if multiple virtual machines or virtual
machine templates are found with same name. VMware does not restrict the system administrator from creating virtual
machines with same name.
