Hello, all.

I need to create a playbook which will include shutting down, then 
restarting, six virtual machines.  The shut-downs/start-ups must be done on 
the machines in specific order (start-ups in reverse order of shut-downs).  
Since they are virtual, I was thinking of using the vmware_guest module.  I 
know that it works for a single machine at a time, such as:

---

- hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: false

  vars:
    vsphere_host: 10.0.101.17
    vsphere_username: user
    vsphere_password: password
    vsphere_guestname: vmname
    vm_state: restarted #poweredon shutdownguest restarted

  tasks:
    - name: boot vmware guest
      vmware_guest:
         hostname: "{{ vsphere_host }}"
         username: "{{ vsphere_username }}"
         password: "{{ vsphere_password }}"
         validate_certs: no
         name: "{{ vsphere_guestname }}"
         wait_for_ip_address: no
         state: "{{ vm_state }}"

But, is there a way to specify all the machines to be shut down/brought up, 
in the order that I'd like that to happen?  If so, how?

Thanks.
