Hi Matti,
You've created a dictionary instead of a list.
Check this document: http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/YAMLSyntax.html
The proper use of "with_items" needs a list like this:
vmware_guest_disks:
- size_gb: 20
datastore: datastore1
- size_gb: 1
datastore: datastore1
- size_gb: 2
datastore: datastore1
Note the dash and space per item. The indentation is important, too.
Then you should access the items this way: {{ item.size_gb }} and {{
item.datastore }}. No "value" part.
Cheers,
Marko

Subject: [ansible-project] How to use with_items loop with vmware_guest module
Hello,
I'm trying to create new VM using vmware_guest module with multiple disks which
details are defined in host_vars file. Unfortunately I can't get it working. Is
it even possible to use with_items with vmware_guest module?
I have tried the following:
Disk definition in host_vars:
vmware_guest_disks:
disk1:
size_gb: 20
datastore: datastore1
disk2:
size_gb: 1
datastore: datastore1
disk3:
size_gb: 2
datastore: datastore1
Task used to try to create new VM:
- name: Create new VM
vmware_guest:
hostname: 192.168.1.2
username: [email protected]
password: password
datacenter: datacenter
cluster: cluster
name: guestname
guest_id: centos64guest
template: templatename
validate_certs: no
hardware:
memory_mb: 1024
num_cpus: 1
customization:
dns_servers:
- 8.8.8.8
- 8.8.4.4
hostname: guesthostname
domain: guestdomain
password: password
networks:
- vlan: 1
ip: 192.168.1.100
netmask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.186.1.1
disk:
- size_gb: "{{ item.value.size_gb }}"
- datastore: "{{ item.value.datastore }}"
with_items: "{{ vmware_guest_disks | default({}) }}"
register: deploy
Tasks fails but if it had succeeded as I though it should have created new VM
with disks which details have been taken from host_vars (disks with sizes 20, 1
and 2 GB placed on datastore1).
