Hi Team
I am trying to fetch different VMs info using vminfo module nd my Yaml
looks like below:
===============playbook yaml=============
- hosts: Web
gather_facts: false
become: false
vars:
vcenter_hostname: x.x.x.x
vcenter_username: <Creds>
vcenter_password: <creds>
tasks:
- name: Gather all registered virtual machines
community.vmware.vmware_vm_info:
hostname: '{{ vcenter_hostname }}'
username: '{{ vcenter_username }}'
password: '{{ vcenter_password }}'
delegate_to: localhost
register: vminfo
- debug:
msg: "{{ item.guest_name }}, {{ item.ip_address }}"
with_items:
- "{{ vminfo.virtual_machines }}"
=========================================
In the hosts file i have give Vcenter IP details as below:
========Host file==========
[Web]
x.x.x.x #ip of my vcenter server
==============
But while triggering ansible playbook i am getting error as below:
================Error==================

pattern
Define and run a single task 'playbook' against a set of hosts
positional arguments:
pattern host pattern
optional arguments:
--ask-vault-password, --ask-vault-pass
ask for vault password
--become-password-file BECOME_PASSWORD_FILE, --become-pass-file
BECOME_PASSWORD_FILE
Become password file
--connection-password-file CONNECTION_PASSWORD_FILE, --conn-pass-file
CONNECTION_PASSWORD_FILE
Connection password file
--list-hosts outputs a list of matching hosts; does not execute
anything else
--playbook-dir BASEDIR
Since this tool does not use playbooks, use this as
a substitute playbook directory. This sets the relative path for many
features including
roles/ group_vars/ etc.
--syntax-check perform a syntax check on the playbook, but do not
execute it
--task-timeout TASK_TIMEOUT
set task timeout limit in seconds, must be positive
integer.
--vault-id VAULT_IDS the vault identity to use
--vault-password-file VAULT_PASSWORD_FILES, --vault-pass-file
VAULT_PASSWORD_FILES
vault password file
--version show program's version number, config file
location, configured module search path, module location, executable
location and exit
-B SECONDS, --background SECONDS
run asynchronously, failing after X seconds
(default=N/A)
-C, --check don't make any changes; instead, try to predict
some of the changes that may occur
-D, --diff when changing (small) files and templates, show the
differences in those files; works great with --check
-K, --ask-become-pass
ask for privilege escalation password
-M MODULE_PATH, --module-path MODULE_PATH
prepend colon-separated path(s) to module library
(default=~/.ansible/plugins/modules:/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules)
-P POLL_INTERVAL, --poll POLL_INTERVAL
set the poll interval if using -B (default=15)
-a MODULE_ARGS, --args MODULE_ARGS
The action's options in space separated k=v format:
-a 'opt1=val1 opt2=val2'
-e EXTRA_VARS, --extra-vars EXTRA_VARS
set additional variables as key=value or YAML/JSON,
if filename prepend with @
-f FORKS, --forks FORKS
specify number of parallel processes to use
(default=5)
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-i INVENTORY, --inventory INVENTORY, --inventory-file INVENTORY
specify inventory host path or comma separated host
list. --inventory-file is deprecated
-k, --ask-pass ask for connection password
-l SUBSET, --limit SUBSET
further limit selected hosts to an additional
pattern
-m MODULE_NAME, --module-name MODULE_NAME
Name of the action to execute (default=command)
-o, --one-line condense output
-t TREE, --tree TREE log output to this directory
-v, --verbose Causes Ansible to print more debug messages. Adding
multiple -v will increase the verbosity, the builtin plugins currently
evaluate up to
-vvvvvv. A reasonable level to start is -vvv,
connection debugging might require -vvvv.
Privilege Escalation Options:
control how and which user you become as on target hosts
--become-method BECOME_METHOD
privilege escalation method to use (default=sudo),
use `ansible-doc -t become -l` to list valid choices.
--become-user BECOME_USER
run operations as this user (default=root)
-b, --become run operations with become (does not imply password
prompting)
Connection Options:
control as whom and how to connect to hosts
--private-key PRIVATE_KEY_FILE, --key-file PRIVATE_KEY_FILE
use this file to authenticate the connection
--scp-extra-args SCP_EXTRA_ARGS
specify extra arguments to pass to scp only (e.g.
-l)
--sftp-extra-args SFTP_EXTRA_ARGS
specify extra arguments to pass to sftp only (e.g.
-f, -l)
--ssh-common-args SSH_COMMON_ARGS
specify common arguments to pass to sftp/scp/ssh
(e.g. ProxyCommand)
--ssh-extra-args SSH_EXTRA_ARGS
specify extra arguments to pass to ssh only (e.g.
-R)
-T TIMEOUT, --timeout TIMEOUT
override the connection timeout in seconds
(default=10)
-c CONNECTION, --connection CONNECTION
connection type to use (default=smart)
-u REMOTE_USER, --user REMOTE_USER
connect as this user (default=None)
*Some actions do not make sense in Ad-Hoc (include, meta, etc)ERROR! No
argument passed to command module*
*===================*
I am very new to ansible. Can someone please guide how to extract vcenter
VM hosted info via ansible ..should hosts file have vcenter host related
info or host has to be localhost from where ansible is triggered or ESXi
hosts under Vcenter.
Thanks for help in advance.
Regards
Karun
