I have recently updated to Ansible 2.4.2
I have plays that will remove old snapshots from specific VMs and will
create new snapshots for those VMs.
The remove playbook is as follows:
---
- hosts: localhost
vars_prompt:
- name: username
prompt: "VCenter username"
private: no
- name: password
prompt: "VCenter password"
private: yes
tasks:
- name: Remove Staging snapshots
vmware_guest_snapshot:
validate_certs: false
datacenter: QAE
hostname: vcenter.host
username: "{{ username }}"
password: "{{ password }}"
name: "{{ item }}"
state: remove_all
folder: /Staging/
delegate_to: localhost
with_items:
- vm1.domain
- vm2.domain
- vm3.domain
- vm4.domain
...
Since the update to 2.4.x these playbooks have stopped working.
Looking at the Ansible module documentation I see the following change for
vmware_guest_snaphsot
<http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/vmware_guest_snapshot_module.html>:
folder
no /vm
Destination folder, absolute or relative path to find an existing guest.
This is required if name is supplied.
The folder should include the datacenter. ESX's datacenter is ha-datacenter
Examples:
folder: /ha-datacenter/vm
folder: ha-datacenter/vm
folder: /datacenter1/vm
folder: datacenter1/vm
folder: /datacenter1/vm/folder1
folder: datacenter1/vm/folder1
folder: /folder1/datacenter1/vm
folder: folder1/datacenter1/vm
folder: /folder1/datacenter1/vm/folder2
folder: vm/folder2
folder: folder2
Our datacenter is "QAE" and one of the folders I want to interact with is
"Staging". I have tried updating the "folder: /Staging/" to folder:
/QAE/Staging/, QAE/Staging/, QAE/Staging, /QAE/Staging and each time this
fails with the error:
"failed: [localhost -> localhost] (item=vm1.domain) => {"changed": false,
"item": "vm1.domain", "msg": "Unable to manage snapshots for non-existing
VM vm1.domain"}
This exact playbook worked in 2.3.x as shown above. Is anyone else using
this module and has overcome this issue?
