Create a VM from a virtual disk file (vmdk)

sterlij1 · June 21, 2016, 9:01am

Hi All,

I’ve been given a vmdk file from a vendor and can successfully create a custom VM using my vsphere client manually by clicking through the ‘custom’ steps and pointing to the vmdk file.

In all the ansible documentation and examples I’ve seen people point to a cd image (iso). Is there a way to get ansible to use vmdk file without the need to use a templated VM?

I’m using ansible 1.9.4

Regards
