vmware issue

[Rene Paquin]

I am having an issue deploying servers from templates  using ansible with the vmware_guest  module.  Below is the playbook.  I get the following error regardless of what I configure for datastores, esxi host etc.  I am currently running the latest version

 

  },

    "msg": "Network interface 'Network adapter 1' uses network 'DVSwitch: c5 de 2d 50 8f fe 22 dd-fd dc 6a 6b 5f 9c 97 73', which is not accessible."

}

 

I can deploy a server from template via the vcenter console so this appears to be an ansible issue?   Any ideas? 

 

Thanks

The template has a defined network interface? If that's the case, try to remote the network interface to the template.

vmware_guest module is able to add network interfaces if required. Just provide the rigth VLAN according to naming convention used in vmware cluster.
