Hello,
I have a problem with the vmware_guest_network module, i am writing a
playbook for creating an OpenShift cluster, and i am using RHCOS as OS for
the cluster nodes, the nodes are created through vmware_deploy_ovf which by
default attaches a Network Adapter of type vmxnet3 to each node. The
problem, the booting VMs network interface wont turn up, i discovered that
changing the Adapter type to e1000e will resolve the issue. Yet i cant
automate this using Ansible as i cant override the Adapter type of existing
NICs nor can i use vmware_guest_network to remove the NIC and replace it
with an other. The task succeds, but there is no change to my VMs, the NIC
was not removed. I dont really understand why this is happening and why
features like these dont work as they should.
*PLAYBOOK CODE:*
- name: "Deploy new rhcos VMs from ova"
community.vmware.vmware_deploy_ovf:
hostname: "{{ vsphere_host }}"
username: "{{ vsphere_username }}"
password: "{{ vsphere_password }}"
