Hi Tarun,
Most probably you have some issue with provided configuration parameters
for VM. From my experience, "Must call 'connect' before invoking this
method" is a generic error reported by vsphere_guest module when VMware is
unable to create the VM.
To see what exactly is wrong - connect to your target vCenter (or ESXi)
server with vSphere client and check the tasks status panel when running
the playbook. The error message there usually shows a clue on what item in
VM configuration causes error.
