grepping the first output of vm list for vmname so i get the one row . now
i have to get the VMID field from the single row.
I have used following code but it does not give the desired output. any
help is aprreciated.
What output do you get and what's wrong with it?
name: Get the VM id of the powered ON VM
command: vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms | grep '{{guest_name}}' | "'cut -d
' ' -f 1'"
register: ouputvmid
ignore_errors: true
Not all esx have python so you might need to use the raw module.
You need to remove the single and double quotes around cut like so.
- name: Get the VM id of the powered ON VM
command: vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms | grep '{{guest_name}}' | cut -d'
' -f1
register: ouputvmid
