Make sure the community.vmware collection is installed if you’re using 2.10 or later. You can use the --playbook-dir option with ansible-inventory if the collection is playbook-adjacent rather than in a configured path.

Hello Abhijeet Kasurde,
Sorry for the delay, I succeeded in changing the rights.
I now have an inventory with hundreds of lines and info,
is it possible to have a simple inventory sorted by TAG ? ( on my vcenter my machines are tagged by PROD or TEST)
Thank you very much for your help!
Sincerely,
Soufiane
You are so nice, thank you very much !!
My current inventory configuration file is :
strict: False
hostname: 10.0.250.100
username: myemail
password: Mypassword
validate_certs: False
with_tags: True
In my vcenter, I have machines that are tagged with PROD, TEST or OTHER.
I would like to have an inventory that differentiates TEST tags from PROD tags or OTHER tags
for exemple i want this :
PROD:
machine1
machine2
…
TEST:
machine4
machine9
…
Do you understand my need?
Thank you again, you are at the top!
Sorry for the delay,
The problem with your solution is that I have too much information and I would like to have only the machines of a TAG.
I tried this:
My goal would be to have several inventories for example :
inventory_prod.yml with in it the machines that are TAG “PROD”
an inventory_test.yml with the machines that are TAG “TEST”
Because currently in one file there are really all the machines and way too much information that is useless to me.
