Hi,

I’m trying to change the network and ip/netmask of a vm after creation in vmware using the below playbook:

  • vmware_guest:
    hostname: ‘{{ }}’
    username: ‘{{ }}’
    password: ‘{{ }}’
    validate_certs: no
    datacenter: ‘{{ }}’
    name: FW_Test2
    template: FW_Test2
    networks:
  • name: ‘dvPG-MGMT’
    ip: 0.0.0.0
    netmask: 0.0.0.0
    customization:
    ip: ‘172.17.42.9’
    netmask: 255.255.254.0
    gateway: ‘172.17.42.1’
    delegate_to: localhost

and getting the below error:

fatal: [localhost → localhost]: FAILED! => {“changed”: true, “msg”: “The operation is not supported on the object.”}

Anyidea what this error means or why I get it?
