Hi Gerry,
You may want to try this - Replace variables as per your setup
---
- hosts: localhost
vars_files:
- vcsim_vars.yml
tasks:
- name: Gather all VMs information
vmware_vm_info:
hostname: '{{ vcenter_hostname }}'
username: '{{ vcenter_username }}'
password: '{{ vcenter_password }}'
validate_certs: no
register: all_vm_info
delegate_to: localhost
- name: Get a list of all VMs
set_fact:
all_vm: "{{ all_vm_info.virtual_machines | json_query(query) }}"
vars:
query: "[*].guest_name"
- name: Delete all snapshot of all VMs
vmware_guest_snapshot:
hostname: '{{ vcenter_hostname }}'
username: '{{ vcenter_username }}'
password: '{{ vcenter_password }}'
validate_certs: no
datacenter: '{{ datacenter }}'
name: '{{ item }}'
folder: "/{{ datacenter }}/vm"
state: remove_all
with_items: "{{ all_vm }}"
delegate_to: localhost
