Error in vm_disk definition. Too many disks defined in comparison to the VM's disk profile.

[Werner Dijkerman]

Hi,

I have an issue with the 'vmware_guest' module.

Ik have the following 2 tasks:

- name: "Create VM"

  vsphere_guest:

    vcenter_hostname: vcenter

    username: vcenter_user

    password: vcenter_password

    validate_certs: no

    guest: newvm001

    from_template: yes

    template_src: template-centos-7-1

    cluster: cluster

    power_on_after_clone: no

    esxi:

      datacenter: datacenter

      hostname: esxi1

- name: "Reconfigure VM"

  vsphere_guest:

    vcenter_hostname: vcenter

    username: vcenter_user

    password: vcenter_password

    validate_certs: no

    guest: newvm001

    state: reconfigured

    vm_disk:

      disk1:

        size_gb: 20

        type: 'thin'

        datastore: ds_system

      disk2:

        size_gb: 30

        type: 'thin'

        datastore: ds_data

    vm_nic:

      nic1:

        type: vmxnet3

        network: 192.168.1.x

        network_type: standard

      nic2:

        type: vmxnet3

        network: 192.168.2.x

        network_type: standard

    esxi:

      datacenter: datacenter

      hostname: esxi1

    vm_hardware:

      memory_mb: 2048

      num_cpus: 2

Creating the guest is working correctly and the template is cloned into the vm. This is an CentOS 7 and has 1 nic and 1 disk (disk1) and Vmware is on 5.5

When the 2nd task is running, it gives an error:

{"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "Error in vm_disk definition. Too many disks defined in comparison to the VM's disk profile."}

When I execute the 2nd task again, it will run successfully, but the disk in "thick" and not "thin" provisioned.

What am I doing wrong? Or do I encounter an bug?

I'm running Ansible 2.0.1.0

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Werner
