Re: [ansible-project] Ansible Multiple virtual machines or templates with same name found.

[David Foley]

Hi
It would be nice to have different names for templates but
I don't have control of the templates just working on the automation of
different tasks within our infrastructure.

Re: [ansible-project] Ansible Multiple virtual machines or templates with same name found.

[Dick Visser]

Maybe I'm stating the obvious but you should make sure there are no
duplicate templates.
Or, as the docs you quoted say, use the UUID to identify it.

[ansible-project] Ansible Multiple virtual machines or templates with same name found.

[David Foley]

Hi All,

Trying to Deploy a Virtual Machine on a Cluster within a DataCenter which 
appears that a Template with the Same name is on a different Cluster within 
the Same Datacenter:

Looking at the Following from the Doc:
can someone help me with the absolute path ? 

I tried the following 

template: "Corp\San Diego\QR\.Golden Tempates\WS2016-DSC-0819" which didn't 
appear to Work. 

*template*  

-
Template or existing virtual machine used to create new virtual machine.
If this value is not set, virtual machine is created without using a 
template.
If the virtual machine already exists, this parameter will be ignored.
This parameter is case sensitive.
You can also specify template or VM UUID for identifying source. 
version_added 2.8. Use hw_product_uuid from vmware_guest_facts as UUID 
value.
>From version 2.8 onwards, absolute path to virtual machine or template can 
be used.


TASK [Virtual Machine customization] ***
fatal: [localhost -> localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Multiple 
virtual machines or templates with same name [WS2016-DSC-0819] found."}
