Hi ,
I have upgraded to ansible 2.4 and using vmware_guest module to create a VM. I am getting “Failed to find a matching datastore”.
same code works fine in ansiblke 2.3.
is this a known issue or am i missing something?
Thanks,
Vijay
msg": “Failed to find a matching datastore”
Here is my ansible snippet:
- name: Create a virtual machine from the datastore VM ( Using vGPU VM)
local_action:
module: vmware_guest
hostname: ‘{{ hostname }}’
username: ‘{{ username }}’
password: ‘{{ password }}’
name: ‘{{ guest_name}}’
esxi_hostname: ‘{{ esxi_hostname1 }}’
# template: ‘’
is_template: no
datacenter: ‘{{ datacenter_name }}’
state: poweredon
validate_certs: False
register: taskresult
ignore_errors: True
when i run with -vvvv option i see following parameters are passed:
fatal: [xxxxxxxx → localhost]: FAILED! => {
