community.vmware.vmware_cluster_info – Gather info about clusters available in given vCenter
Note
This plugin is part of the community.vmware collection (version 1.15.0).
You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible
package. It is not included in ansible-core
. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list
.
To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.vmware
.
To use it in a playbook, specify: community.vmware.vmware_cluster_info
.
Synopsis
- This module can be used to gather information about clusters in VMWare infrastructure.
- All values and VMware object names are case sensitive.
- This module was called
vmware_cluster_facts
before Ansible 2.9. The usage did not change.
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. If set, information of this cluster will be returned. This parameter is required, if datacenter is not supplied. | |
datacenter string | Datacenter to search for cluster/s. This parameter is required, if cluster_name is not supplied. | |
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 | Default: 443 | The port number of the vSphere vCenter or ESXi server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable VMWARE_PORT will be used instead.Environment variable support added in Ansible 2.6. |
properties list / elements=string added in 1.0.0 of community.vmware | Specify the properties to retrieve. Example: properties: [ "name", "configuration.dasConfig.enabled", "summary.totalCpu" ] Only valid when schema is vsphere . | |
proxy_host string | Address of a proxy that will receive all HTTPS requests and relay them. The format is a hostname or a IP. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable VMWARE_PROXY_HOST will be used instead.This feature depends on a version of pyvmomi greater than v6.7.1.2018.12 | |
proxy_port integer | Port of the HTTP proxy that will receive all HTTPS requests and relay them. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable VMWARE_PROXY_PORT will be used instead. | |
schema string added in 1.0.0 of community.vmware |
| Specify the output schema desired. The 'summary' output schema is the legacy output from the module. The 'vsphere' output schema is the vSphere API class definition which requires pyvmomi>6.7.1. |
show_tag boolean |
| Tags related to cluster are shown if set to True . |
username string | The username of the vSphere vCenter or ESXi server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable VMWARE_USER will be used instead.Environment variable support added in Ansible 2.6. aliases: admin, user | |
validate_certs boolean |
| Allows connection when SSL certificates are not valid. Set to false when certificates are not trusted.If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable VMWARE_VALIDATE_CERTS will be used instead.Environment variable support added in Ansible 2.6. If set to true , please make sure Python >= 2.7.9 is installed on the given machine. |
Notes
Note
- Tested on vSphere 6.5, 6.7
- All modules requires API write access and hence is not supported on a free ESXi license.
