[ansible-project] Re: Use of vmware_guest module
Further question:
With the play written as follows:
---
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: false
vars:
vsphere_host: 10.0.101.17
vsphere_username: user
vsphere_password: password
vm_state: poweredon #poweredon shutdownguest restarted
tasks:
- name: Boot VMWare Guest
with_items: ["vm1", "vm2"]
vmware_guest:
hostname: "{{ vsphere_host }}"
username: "{{ vsphere_username }}"
password: "{{ vsphere_password }}"
validate_certs: no
name: "{{ item }}"
wait_for_ip_address: no
state: "{{ vm_state }}"
How might I get vm1 to complete it's start prior to vm2 beginning its
restart? It's important that this be accomplished.
Thanks.

[ansible-project] Re: Use of vmware_guest module
I'll answer my own question - yes "with_items" works, and in the order in
which the items are listed.

[ansible-project] Re: Use of vmware_guest module
As in "with_items". If so, would the shut-downs/start-ups be in the order
of the "with_items" list?
