I'm having issues with getting basic VMware modules working. For example
vmware_guest_find. I'm running the below from a RHEL 7 server.
Versions installed:
pyvmomi 6.7.0
ansible 2.5.2
vSphere vCenter 6.0
playbook:
---
- hosts: vms

This is a pretty straight forward task but I don't understand why its
failing. The vm exists, its powered on, VMware tools is running. I can see
a new connection opening under the sessions tab in the vSphere client. I
can query the VM from powercli.........
Does pyvmomi have to be installed on the vCenter host?
Any suggestions / comments are most welcome!
Thanks,
Ted
