I am running ansible version 2.2.0.0. I have several free ESXi hosts. I
would like to create multiple specific guests on each of the free ESXi
hosts. I have tried to use with_dict with guests variables, hoping to loop
through an arbitrary pre-defined set of ESXi hosts and guests list. But I
am getting error:
fatal: [esxi1]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "the field 'args' has an
invalid value, which appears to include a variable that is undefined. The
error was: 'list object' has no attribute 'vmname'
Is there a way to have the playbook loop through the list of esxi hosts and
guests list.
