Hi ,
I am using following code to create a snapshot for a VM already register
in a datastore with esxcli command line but it fails in creating snapshot
as it is not able to find the VM.
//registering a VM code
- name: Register a VM template
command: vim-cmd solo/registervm {{ template_file_path }}
register: result
ignore_errors: true
//snapshot creation code
- name: Create snapshot of a vGPU VM
vmware_guest_snapshot:
hostname: '{{ hostname }}'
username: '{{ username }}'
password: '{{ password }}'
name: '{{ guest_name }}'
datacenter: '{{ datacenter_name }}'
validate_certs: False
name_match: last
state: present
snapshot_name: '{{ snapshotname }}'
description: snap-1 is the snapshot of '{{guest_name}}'
delegate_to: localhost
register: taskresult
ignore_errors: true
//playbook
//This part registers the VM
- hosts: esx1
become: false
roles:
- ESX_REGVM
//This part creates the cluster and add the ESX host to vcenter
- hosts: vcenter
sudo: false
roles:
- VCENTER_HOST_ADD
//this Part( role) actually created the snapshot and fails because it could not
see the mentioned VM in the dfatastore
- hosts: vcenter
become: false
roles:
- VCENTER_VM_SnapRestore
*****************************************************************************
I am also not sure why it is passing "/VM" as a folder( below ) though i have
not specified any such parameter in the Vmware_guest_Snapshot arguments.

I suspect my registering part of the VM as above. because if I manually
register the VM and then call just only the "snapshot create code it succeeds.
also i am registering the VM to ESX's datastore before adding it to the vcenter
so that should be OK(?).
Thanks in advance for help!
