Synopsis

  • This module can be used to gather facts about DRS VM-VM and VM-HOST rules from the given cluster.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • python >= 2.6
  • PyVmomi

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments

cluster_name

string

Name of the cluster.

DRS facts for the given cluster will be returned.

This is required parameter if datacenter parameter is not provided.

datacenter

string

Name of the datacenter.

DRS facts for all the clusters from the given datacenter will be returned.

This is required parameter if cluster_name parameter is not provided.

hostname

string

The hostname or IP address of the vSphere vCenter or ESXi server.

If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable VMWARE_HOST will be used instead.

Environment variable support added in Ansible 2.6.

password

string

The password of the vSphere vCenter or ESXi server.

If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable VMWARE_PASSWORD will be used instead.

Environment variable support added in Ansible 2.6.


aliases: pass, pwd

port

integer

added in 2.5

Default:

443

Environment variable support added in Ansible 2.6.

proxy_host

string

added in 2.9

Address of a proxy that will receive all HTTPS requests and relay them.
