Hello Community members,

I’m using vmware workstation version 15.0.0 on Ubuntu-20.04-LTS machine.

We have deployed VM workstation based Windows-10 machines in that. I want to know which ansible module we can use to PowerOn and PowerOff windows-10 virtual machines from workstation?

I was searching online to find ansible module for the same, However i couldn’t find the ideal document. So please let me know module in ansible?

https://github.com/qsypoq/Ansible-VMware-Workstation-Fusion-Pro-Modules looks like it wraps vmrest.exe which would allow you to control the power state of VMs.

You could also, more crudely, just stop/start using vmrun.exe [stop|suspend|start] <path to .vmx> and wrap that with command/shell/win_powershell.
