Hello all,
I've put together a little playbook to help our IT department deploy VMs
using the vsphere_guest module.
The playbook works great - so long as we're on a Linux system (running
Ansible 1.8), but fails miserably when we try to run it on our MacBooks
running OSX 10.10.3, Ansible 1.9.1, and pysphere 0.1.7.
Now that I'm typing this, I suppose the issue could have something to do
with the Ansible version mis-match - but that's something I can test when I
get back to the office in the morning.
Anyway, the error I get running the playbook on a Mac is:
failed: [127.0.0.1] => {"failed": true}
msg: parameters are required together: ['from_template', 'resource_pool',
'template_src']
FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting
I've tried running it as verbosely as possible looking for clues, but I'm
lost ... so the playbook is below (I welcome any suggestions for
improvement), and thanks in advance!
