Hi Kai
sorry, I just did a bad copy and paste; in reality my playbook is correct
about spaces and indentation in fact as I wrote (I posted the complete
output) it works using the "loop" statement but, in this way, I'm not able
to filter by vm name.
Instead using:
- debug: msg="{{
vm_guest_facts.virtual_machines['testvm'].mac_address }}"
the playbook gives me an error.
This is my playbook:
# Deploy a guest from a template*
- hosts: 127.0.0.1
vars:
vcenter_hostname: virtvcsami1.virtlab.local
vcenter_user: [email protected]
vcenter_pass: Esxilab!1
vcenter_datastore: vsanDatastore
vcenter_datacenter: DatacenterMI
tasks:
- name: Gather VMware guest facts
vmware_vm_facts:
validate_certs: False
hostname: "{{ vcenter_hostname }}"
username: "{{ vcenter_user }}"
password: "{{ vcenter_pass }}"
vm_type: vm
delegate_to: localhost
register: vm_guest_facts
# - debug: msg="{{ item.value.mac_address }}"
# loop: "{{ vm_guest_facts.virtual_machines|dict2items }}"
- debug: msg="{{
vm_guest_facts.virtual_machines['testvm'].mac_address }}"
Could someone test it against a vsphere environment?
