Please help…

We are getting below error while running “vcenter upgrade playbook”

ERROR! couldn’t resolve module/action ‘vmware\_vcenter\_upgrade’. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.

The error appears to be in ‘/home/kkrishnasamy/VCenter\_Upgrade/VCenter\_Upgrade.yml’: line 10, column 7, but may  
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

tasks:  
- name: list vmware vcenter upgrade information  
^ here

* * *

* * *

- hosts: localhost  
name: VCenter\_Upgrade  
gather\_facts: false  
vars:  
vcenter\_hostname: “x.x.x.x”  
vcenter\_username: “administrator@vsphere.local”  
vcenter\_password: “Password123!”

What module should this be? It looks like neither [community.vmware](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/9/collections/community/vmware/) nor [vmware.vmware\_rest](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/9/collections/vmware/vmware_rest/) contain a module `vmware_vcenter_upgrade`.
