**I'm trying to create VM using the following ansible module. To create it, I see "ovf" as attributes that I can use the path to the ovf files, but I don't see any attribute to let me use my vmdk files.**

```

```auto
**Do you know where I can specify my vmdk files?**

```

```auto

```

```auto
- vmware_deploy_ovf:
    hostname: '{{ vcenter_hostname }}'
    username: '{{ vcenter_username }}'
    password: '{{ vcenter_password }}'
    ovf: /path/to/ubuntu-16.04-amd64.ovf
    wait_for_ip_address: true
  delegate_to: localhost

```
