Thanks, Todd.
According the docs, the name: param is for the virtual machine and
hostname: under customization: is for setting the hostname. I was able to
register the stdout of the task, capturing it
to a variable. The substitutions are being made.
"instance": {
"module_hw": true,
"hw_name": "rheltest0816d",
"hw_power_status": "poweredOn",
-and-
"customization": {
"existing_vm": true,
"dns_servers": [
"redacted",
"redacted"
],
"domain": "<redacted>",
"hostname": "rheltest0816d",
The hostname is not being updated on the vm though and that's causing a
glitch downstream in the next job template in the workflow.
I'm not sure if I should move the state: param near the beginning of the
task.
