Hallo Team,

kind of beginner in Ansible.  
Written few lines but not there yet. I want to gather vSphere HA Cluster Info, very specifically vSPhere HA properties i.e. advanced properties as shown below

vSphere Cluster Info:

Where can i find specific properties for vSphere cluster here?

```auto
Specify the properties to retrieve.
Example:
properties: [
“name”,
“configuration.dasConfig.enabled”,
“summary.totalCpu”
]

Only valid when schema is vsphere.

```

coming from vSphere background i know these properties but when I use e.g. a property with `das.ignoreInsufficientHbDatastore` it throws error. It either because i’m not aware if these properties are case sensitive

I keep getting below error

```auto
 ansible-playbook cluster_info.yaml
[WARNING]: No inventory was parsed, only implicit localhost is available
[WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available. Note that the implicit localhost does not match 'all'
[WARNING]: Collection community.vmware does not support Ansible version 2.10.8

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Property 'das.ignoreInsufficientHbDatastore' not found."}

PLAY RECAP ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
localhost : ok=2 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=1 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0

```

Question:  
is there place i find all these properties?  
At least vmware KB [VMware Knowledge Base](https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2033250) is not helping here

I think that’s the problem: `das.ignoreInsufficientHbDatastore` looks like an advanced setting, it’s not a _property_ of a [cluster](https://developer.vmware.com/apis/1311/).

I’m not sure if this module (or another module) returns advanced settings. And I don’t have the time to test this at the moment… maybe someone else has an idea.

You should be able to _set_ the advanced setting with vmware\_cluster\_ha, though.

My quest started from there. I added an advanced property to vSphere HA but I want to print that advanced property for information. But I guess it is not there based on your comment. But then where is the vSphere Schema defined? I’m sure we can find all properties there…
