Hi Mark Matthews and ALL
I meet the same problem with create Create multiple VMware guests with a
Playbook.
Could your share / show your playbook with me?
Or help me to fix my playbook?
My playbook is
- name: Testing vsphere_guest module in VMware
hosts: localhost
connection: local
vars_prompt:
- name: "vcenter_hostname"
prompt: "Enter vcenter hostname"
private: no
default: "vcsa"
- name: "vcenter_user"
prompt: "Enter vCenter username"
private: no
default: root
- name: "vcenter_pass"
prompt: "Enter vcenter password"
private: yes
- name: "esxi_hostname"
prompt: "Enter esxi hostname"
private: no
tasks:
- name: Testing gater facts from vSphere
vsphere_guest:
vcenter_hostname: "{{ vcenter_hostname }}"
validate_certs: no
username: "{{ vcenter_user }}"
password: "{{ vcenter_pass }}"
guest: "{{ item }}"
from_template: yes
template_src: openSUSELeap42.1_Template
esxi:
datacenter: Lab
hostname: "{{ esxi_hostname }}"
with_items:
- server01
- server02
Error message is
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "'item' is
undefined"}
item is undefined.
But I already have with_items ??
Thanks
Max
