How do I change a vmware VM network after deployment.

I cloned a vmware VM from a template. Now I need to change the network to a different network port group. I tried using vsphere_guest to change the network, but reconfigure only seems to work for CPU, Memory and CDROM. Is there some other way I should do this? Being able to set these sorts of parameters after cloning a VM is critical to me.

tasks:

  • vsphere_guest:
    vcenter_hostname: “{{ vcenter_hostname }}”
    username: “{{ vcenter_user }}”
    password: “{{ vcenter_pass }}”
    guest: “MYVM”
    state: reconfigured
    vm_extra_config:
    notes: This is a test VM
    vm_nic:
    nic0:
    network: QANET

network_type: dvs
