Hello,

I would like to ask some queststions about the new module [vmware\_guest](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/vmware_guest_module.html) which will be included in release 2.2.

In the given example the parameter hardware is used to specify osid and scsi method. What are possible values for these parameters? Where could I find them? Is it required to specify them when using the parameter hardware?

What are possible values for network\_type? To which attribute in vcenter is this parameter reffering to? Is it required to specify a network\_type when using the nic parameter? What is the default value?

These questions came up when reading the documentation. Maybe some of them are stupid, but maybe not. If there are answers to these questions it would be a good idea to add the information to the documentation as well.

Regards,  
Joerg
