Hi,

I am trying to create VM using ansible playbook.

  • hosts: 127.0.0.1
    connection: local
    user: root
    sudo: false
    gather_facts: false
    serial: 1

tasks:

  • vsphere_guest:
    vcenter_hostname: ‘10.39.1.59’
    username: ‘xxxx’
    password: ‘xxxx’
    guest: ‘newTestVM’
    state: powered_on
    vm_disk:
    disk1:
    size_gb: 10
    type: thin
    datastore: 10_39_1_59_datastore1
    vm_nic:
    nic1:
    type: vmxnet3
    network: vm
    network_type: standard

    num_cpus: 1
