The Python version installed on ESX doesn't include all the "standard"
library code needed to run Ansible modules. You're pretty much limited to
using *raw* and *script* to do anything over SSH.
You may want to set *gather_facts: false* in your play to prevent trying to
run the *setup* module.
The *vsphere_guest* module is meant to be run on the control machine, using
*local_action* or *delegate_to*. The following play shows an example of
connecting to an ESXi server using both SSH and PySphere:
- hosts: vmware
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- raw: uname -a
- vsphere_guest:
vcenter_hostname: "{{ ansible_ssh_host|default(inventory_hostname)
}}"
username: "{{ hostvars[inventory_hostname].ansible_ssh_user|quote
}}"
password: "{{ hostvars[inventory_hostname].ansible_ssh_pass|quote
}}"
guest: "My Guest"
vmware_guest_facts: yes
delegate_to: localhost
