When using the gather_vmware_facts option in the vsphere_guest module :
$cat vmguest_facts.yml
---
- hosts: all
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- name: get vmguest facts
delegate_to: localhost
vsphere_guest:
vmware_guest_facts: true
vcenter_hostname: vmware
username: "{{ hostvars[inventory_hostname].ansible_vsphere_user }}"
password: "{{ hostvars[inventory_hostname].ansible_vsphere_pass }}"
guest: vmguest
register: vmguset_facts
tags: vmfacts
- name: debug facts
debug: msg="vmguest facts are {{ vmguest_facts }}"
tags: vmfacts
I get output that looks like:
$ ansible-playbook -i hosts -l vmware vmguest_facts.yml

192.168.x.y : ok=2 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0
which excludes the ip addresses of the vm guest. However when using
pysphere directly:
$cat facts.py
#!/usr/bin/python
import ssl
ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context
from pysphere import VIServer
server = VIServer()
server.connect("192.168.x.y", "user", "password")
vm1 = server.get_vm_by_name("vmguest")
print vm1.get_property('net')
I get all ip addresses of the vm:
$ ./facts.py
[{'ip_addresses': ['192.168.x.z', 'fc00:::3a8e:54b4:4137:9b95',
'fe80::20c:2aff:fecf:9bf1'], 'connected': True, 'network': 'VM Network',
'mac_address': '00:0c:1f:7c:b7:1a'}]
Any ideas on why the ip addresses are not returned by vmware_guest_facts?
I'm hoping to capture the guest ip address to provision services in the
guest os.

Thanks,
