vmware_guest customization

I am trying to provision a VM using vmware_guest from template(which has a nic set to use DHCP vlan). Now When I provision VM with customization, it throws below error, however it provisions VM but fails to power on. And also I noticed that hostname in customization does not pick up.

my ansible version is 2.3
vcenter : 6.0

$ ansible-playbook vm_provision.yml -vv
