Hello everyone, i was using ansible 2.10.3, and all was working as well.

I’ve tried to upgrade my project to ansible 4.10.0, but i’m facing this issue.

I have the fallowing message:

{
“msg”: “Unsupported parameters for (vmware_guest) module: disk.lvnames, disk.vgname. Supported parameters include: state, linked_clone, resource_pool, cdrom, customization, wait_for_customization, datacenter, convert, guest_id, is_template, snapshot_src, wait_for_ip_address, nvdimm, customvalues, esxi_hostname, port, use_instance_uuid, delete_from_inventory, password (pass, pwd), networks, template (template_src), advanced_settings, datastore, name_match, wait_for_ip_address_timeout, proxy_host, validate_certs, cluster, hardware, wait_for_customization_timeout, username (admin, user), state_change_timeout, proxy_port, vapp_properties, name, disk, annotation (notes), customization_spec, uuid, force, folder, hostname.”,

“size_kb”: null,
“size_mb”: null,
“size_tb”: null,
“unit_number”: null
}
],
“cdrom”: {
“type”: “iso”,

…
}

This extra params (lvnames et vgname) are used by another role on my collection.

is there a way (simple or not) to achieve this?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers

The closest thing I’ve come up with is, when you pass the “disk:” value in your module invocation, (assuming your variable name is “disk”), do this:

  disk: |
          {%- for disc in disk -%}
          {{    disc | dict2items | list | rejectattr('key', 'in', ['lvnames', 'vgname']) | list | items2dict }},
          {%- endfor -%}

It’s not pretty, and I’m not proud of it, but it seems to work at least in a debug task with your data.
This should be a lot easier.

Hi Uto,

Thanks for your feedback,

i do it with this way:

{%- for disc in server.disk -%}
{%- if disc.vgname is defined -%}
{%- do disc.pop(‘vgname’) -%}
{%- do disc.pop(‘lvnames’) -%}
{%- endif -%}
{%- endfor -%}

all working now.

Thanks for putting me on the right track

Cheers
