using vsphere-guest on esxi 6.0 (free version)

Hi All,

Any suggestions on what to set the datacenter: parameter to?

i have an ESXi 6.0 whitebox at home, and am running Ansible 2.2.0 on an Ubuntu 16.04 vm. i’ve tried setting the datacenter: parameter to the hostname/ip of the whitebox, but i still end up getting this(i’ve added an entry in /etc/hosts for vms01.auy.com, and have verified that i can resolve it):

Hi All,

Sorry i mixed up the results from two different tests…i ran another test and made sure the datacenter parameter matched the entry i made in /etc/hosts(vms01.acme.com), but i still got the same result.
