multiple vm playbook

[Rene Paquin]

I am attempting to create a playbook to deploy multiple linux  VMs from a template and assigning a static ip and I am running into issues.  My playbook:

 

---

 

- hosts: localhost

  gather_facts: no

  vars_files:

    - group_vars/vars

    - group_vars/vars_sec

 

  tasks:

  - name: Clone the template

    vmware_guest:

      hostname: "{{ vcenter_server }}"

      username: "{{ vcenter_user }}"

      password: "{{ vcenter_pass }}"

      validate_certs: False

      name: "{{ item.name }}"

      template: "{{ template }}"

      datacenter: "{{ datacenter_name }}"

      folder: "{{ folder }}"

      cluster:  "{{ cluster_name }}"

      datastore: "{{ datastore }}"

      networks:

        name: "{{ lan }}"

        ip:  '{{ item.ip }}'

        netmask: 255.255.254.0

        gateway: "{{ gw }}"

        connected: yes

        start_connected: yes

      state: poweredon

      wait_for_ip_address: yes

    delegate_to: localhost

    with_items:

    - { name: qanstest01, ip: 10.10.73.43 }

    - { name: qanstest02, ip: 10.10.73.44 }

    - { name: qanstest03, ip: 10.10.73.45 }

 

When I run the playbook I get the following error output

 

  "msg": "argument 'networks' is of type <class 'dict'> and we were unable to convert to list: <class 'dict'> cannot be converted to a list"

 

Any suggestions on how to get around this? 

 

Thanks,

Use a list for the network parameters as shown in the examples for this module:

networks:

    - name: "{{ lan }}"

      ip:  '{{ item.ip }}'

      netmask: 255.255.254.0

      gateway: "{{ gw }}"

      connected: yes

      start_connected: yes
