change advanced settings for standalone esxi hosts

[Tony Wong]

I am trying to change advanced settings for standalone esxi host

is the possible without vcenter?

I looked at 

- name: Manage multiple settings for an ESXi host community.vmware.vmware_host_config_manager: hostname: '{{ vcenter_hostname }}' username: '{{ vcenter_username }}' password: '{{ vcenter_password }}' esxi_hostname: '{{ esxi_hostname }}' options: 'Config.HostAgent.log.level': 'verbose' 'Annotations.WelcomeMessage': 'Hello World' 'Config.HostAgent.plugins.solo.enableMob': false delegate_to: localhost

but it looks like it needs vcenter

What makes it look like that?

For what I understand, vCenter includes the API server, so it's required.

vmware modules uses pyvmomi underneath and this tools connects to the API.

I'm not sure. Maybe you can access through SSH and do changes using console commands. I'm not sure if VMWare host appliances allows to connect that way. Ansible will require not only SSH but python also.
