Hi Sadanand,

Can you try this, this will give you all extent of given VMFS volume and then you can extract diskName

  • name: Get all Datastore facts
    vmware_datastore_info:
    validate_certs: False
    hostname: ‘{{ vcenter_hostname }}’
    username: ‘{{ vcenter_username }}’
    password: ‘{{ vcenter_password }}’
    datacenter: “Asia-Datacenter1”
    name: ds_171_1
    schema: vsphere
    register: all_datastores

  • debug:
    msg: “{{ item.info.vmfs.extent }}”
    with_items: “{{ all_datastores[‘datastores’] }}”
