  • 1.  vmware_guest_info error: unrecognized arguments

    Posted Jun 16, 2020 02:46 AM

    I am almost sure I have the syntax wrong, but cant seem to find an example of the correct usage.

    What is the correct syntax to specify the datacenter name for the vmware_guest_info module?

    I also get the same error if I use datacenter: "{{ Datacenter }}" as shown in the playbook example

    Thanks

    You can execute it by the following procedure.

    export VMWARE_HOST=vcenter host
    export VMWARE_USERNAME=administrator@vsphere.local
    export VMWARE_PASSWORD=password
    export VMWARE_VALIDATE_CERTS=False
    ansible localhost -c local, -m vmware_guest_info -a "datacenter=DC name=test_vm1"
