According to
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/vmware_guest_module.html
<https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/vmware_guest_module.html#vmware-guest-module>
I
can rename a VM with Ansible by using:
- name: Rename a virtual machine (requires the virtual machine's uuid)
> vmware_guest:
> hostname: "{{ vcenter_hostname }}"
> username: "{{ vcenter_username }}"
> password: "{{ vcenter_password }}"
> validate_certs: no
> uuid: "{{ vm_uuid }}"
> name: new_name
> state: present
> delegate_to: localhost
However, when I try this (Ansible 2.8.2) it complains about a missing
folder and datacenter parameter. If those are supplied, the error then says
Unable to find the datastore with given parameters. This could mean,
new_name is a non-existent virtual machine and module tried to deploy it as
new virtual machine with no disk. Please specify disks parameter or specify
template to clone from.
Any thoughts? Is the documentation wrong?
