Hi All,

      Any suggestions on what to set the datacenter: parameter to?

      i have an ESXi 6.0 whitebox at home, and am running Ansible 2.2.0 on 
an Ubuntu 16.04 vm. i've tried setting the datacenter: parameter to the 
hostname/ip of the whitebox, but i still end up getting this(i've added an 
entry in /etc/hosts for vms01.auy.com, and have verified that i can resolve 
it):


############################################################################################################################################
 ./ansible-playbook esx.yml

PLAY [test] 
********************************************************************

TASK [vsphere_guest] 
***********************************************************
fatal: [127.0.0.1]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": 
"Cannot find datacenter named: vms01.auy.com"}

NO MORE HOSTS LEFT 
*************************************************************
        to retry, use: --limit @/home/auy/test/esx.retry

PLAY RECAP 
*********************************************************************
127.0.0.1                  : ok=0    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=1

      i am running the ff playbook(i just added an entry in  /etc/hosts 
file for *vms01.acme.com *):
