(192.168.119.131)
ansible 2.7
Esxi 6.5(192.168.119.129)
1 VM (Ubuntu) in vmware named as Test (192.168.119.130) whose vmware
guest_facts i am finding out through UUID
My host file (Ansible)
[vmware]
192.168.119.129
My Playbook:
---
- name: Running Vmware Playbook
hosts: vmware
tasks:
- name: Printing Vmware Guest Facts
vmware_guest_facts:
hostname: 192.168.119.129
username: root
password: xxxxxxxx
datacenter: vntgautvol-64.localdomain

uuid: 56654D56-5A76-EBD5-DCC9-711988D1E157
