Hi
I am setting up a new VMware virtual machine from a template using a
Ansible playbook.
I want to be able to change the datastore and the network (vm_disk and
vm_nic) of the VM during the setup of the VM. But when I add this
information into the playbook (see below), nothing happens.
The new VM is created, but the datastore and network have not been adjust
to what I requested in the playbook. They have remained the same as what
the template image is.
Am I doing something incorrect in the playbook? Or is this not possible
with Ansible?
Playbook (highlighted in bold is what is not being adjusted)

If I look at the example on the Ansible website, it doesn't look like it
gives the option to allow this unless you setup a VM from an ISO file.
(http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/vsphere_guest_module.html)
I ant to have the same functionality if I use a template.
Cheers
