Synopsis

This module can be used to gather information about SCSI disk attached to the given ESXi.

Requirements

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

Python >= 2.7
PyVmomi

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
cluster_name string		Name of the cluster from which all host systems will be used. SCSI disk information about each ESXi server will be returned for the given cluster. This parameter is required if esxi_hostname is not specified.
esxi_hostname string		Name of the host system to work with. SCSI disk information about this ESXi server will be returned. This parameter is required if cluster_name is not specified.
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.
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.
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	Choices: no yes ←	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

All modules requires API write access and hence is not supported on a free ESXi license.
