Hi Gerhard, There are Customization Specifications in Vsphere. When you deploying VM, you can use your specification with pre-configured IP (not only IP but full static network config). It works if Vmware tools installed in the template. You can deploy VM with necessary specification directly from pysphere, here is example http://ljuu.blogspot.com/2014/04/pysphere-deploy-vms-from-vm-template.html
But I'm not sure that Ansible has the ability to work with vsphere customization specifications at this moment. I did not found this in Ansible Vmware cloud modules -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
