I have tried to use with_dict with guests variables, hoping to loop

Is there a way to have the playbook loop through the list of esxi hosts and
guests list.
Yes.
Because of your list under esxi1 and esxi2 you would need to have a loop
in a loop to make it work.
To address them it's item.value.0.vmname, item.value.1.vmname,
item.value.2.vmname and so on.
Loop in a loop is possible, but some what more cumbersome as it involves
include:
---
- hosts: all
connection: local
vars:
esxi_user: root
esxi_password: passwordxyz
guests:
esxi1:
- vmname: vm1
esxi4:
- vmname: vm3
- vmname: vm4
- vmname: vm5
tasks:
- vsphere_guest:
vcenter_hostname: "{{ item.key }}"
username: "{{ esxi_user }}"
password: "{{ esxi_password }}"
guest: "{{ item.value.vmname }}"
state: powered_on
vm_extra_config:
vcpu.hotadd: yes
mem.hotadd: yes
notes: This is a test VM
vm_disk:
disk1:
size_gb: 20
type: thin
datastore: store4
vm_nic:
nic1:
type: vmxnet3
network: VM01
network_type: standard
vm_hardware:
memory_mb: 2048
num_cpus: 2
osid: centos64Guest
scsi: lsi
vm_cdrom:
type: client
esxi:
datacenter: ha-datacenter
hostname: "{{ item.key }}"
with_dict: "{{ guests }}"
One way to do it.
