HI, I have Created a playbook to take a snapshot before patching of servers
but this playbook has only one Guest_vm define so it working perfectly for
me.
*- name: Vmware guest snapshot create*
* hosts: test-hypervisor*
* tasks:*
* - name: Create a snapshot*
* vmware_guest_snapshot:*
* hostname: test-hypervisior*
* username: root*
* password: asdfghj123**
* datacenter: test-hypervisior*
* folder: " /folder1/localhost.example.com/vm"*
* name: RJRedhat01*
* state: present*
* validate_certs: False*
* snapshot_name: snap55*
* description: Test snapshot*
* delegate_to: localhost*
* register: snapshot_info*
* - name: show the status*
* debug:*
* var: snapshot_info.snapshot_results*
#### Above Playbook is working fine for me', But I have dozens of server
and I want to create the snapshot of all nodes, I am using * with_item*
for looping all nodes but it is not working for me.
