Ansible vmware vm configuration parameters

[ppktm]

Hello,

I am using ovf to deploy a new vm. Is it also possible to set VM configuration parameters using ansible community.vmware ? After a vm is provisioned , I need to add and set new configuration parameter such as: guestinfo.ipaddress = 192.168.0.2

Thanks!

ppktm.
