Hi All!
I'm trying to deploy a VM using the vmware_guest module, and noticed that
I'm unable to add a network device unless I additionally specify a MAC
address. From the docs, it looks like adding a mac entry is optional - so
I'm sure I'm missing something here!
(I know MAC addresses can be generated from Ansible, but ideally, I'd like
to leave that job to ESXi)
Any help is appreciated!
Version:
ansible 2.3.0.0
