Hi
I am using vmware_vm_shell module as below to execute commands in VMs in
ESXI hosts . if it is a matter of 2 or 3 esxi servers , it is easier to
prepare a yaml list or dictionary as a vars file and use it in the module .
What if there are 100 ESXI hosts and 300+ VMs to execute any command . Is
there a way to convert a comma seperated file to a nice yaml list or
dictionary ?
vmware_vm_shell:
hostname: "{{item.key}}"
username: blahxxxx
password: blahxxxx
validate_certs: no
vm_id: "{{item.value.name}}"
vm_username: blahxxx
vm_password: blahxxxx
vm_shell: /bin/touch
vm_shell_args: "touch /tmp/{{item.value.ip_address}}.txt"
#vm_shell_cwd: "/tmp"
with_dict: "{{values}}"
#delegate_to: localhost
My vars.yml file used for above play is as below for 2 esxi servers
------------------------------
values:
<esx1>:
name: random
ip_address: 10.xx.yy.zz
<esx2>:
name: abc
ip_address: 10.xx.xx.xx
Say for example my input file is in the below format . Imagine it to run
for like 500+ lines with esx,vm_name and ip address values
esx1,random,10.xx.yy.zz
esx2,abc,10.xx.xx.xx
Is there a way to convert above file into a yaml dict so that I can use it
in my module? Is there any jina2 filter I can use for the same .
Thanks
