Hi Joerg,
Yes if you have a list of servers in a host file then it will walk
through each server and create a snap shot for you. I am using this for
patching on my ESX host servers I find a folder to be a pain but have no
other choice.
Let me know if you have any other issues

Hi,
In your playbook you have specified:
name: "{{ ansible_hostname }}"
uuid: "{{ ansible_product_uuid | lower }}"
Did that mean, that you take a snapshot from all of your VMs in the
specified folder?
Regards,
Joerg

next poor person who has to bang there head for weeks trying to figure
this one out.

- hosts: all
tasks:
- name: Create Snapshot
vmware_guest_snapshot:
datacenter: Development
hostname: virtual server name
folder: /DVT-UX
username: John doe
password: xxxxxx
name: "{{ ansible_hostname }}"
uuid: "{{ ansible_product_uuid | lower }}"
state: present
snapshot_name: test1
description: patch_snapshot
validate_certs: false
delegate_to: localhost
This does work I have confirmed it.
I really do want to thank Kai for all his help on this I really owe you
one sir..
I will update this later with the final playbook we are trying to patch
our servers using ansible. if physical patch if virtual take snapshot
then patch, reboot if needed.
Thanks..

Hi Kai,
Thank you for taking the time to review and reply. I thought the same
thing
yesterday and ran through every option I could think of. the funny
part
about the module is it states in the documentation that UUID is not
required but if I run it with out the UUID I get a different result.
Have you read this one?
"vmware_guest_snapshot don't find vm if not folder is specified"
