Dear list,

i want to change a parameter in the vm_extra_config from what i understand will modify my .vmx of my VM.

This is my part of the vm_extra_config:

vm_extra_config:

notes: "{{ notes }}"

vcpu.hotadd: yes

mem.hotadd: yes

folder: "{{ folder }}"

tools.upgrade.policy: upgradeAtPowerCycle

Everything works fine, till to the last entry.

By no chance it will be changed with

state: reconfigured

or got it from the beginning with

state: present (create new VM)

Second problem, also with

state: reconfigured

if i change a parameter in

network: Portgroup

to a new value (New_Portgroup) it does also not recognizes it.

In fact it disconnects the adapter from the vSwitch in the end.

But it always says, OK after the run without the change of the portgroup for this adapter.

If i change for example CPU-Count, RAM, Disk etc. this works fine.

So any ideas how to get the new parameters into the .vmx?

And how to change a portgroup with state: reconfigured?

Or do i have to do this with state: present?

Right now i am on: ansible 1.9.3

Thx a lot in advance!

Timo

Hi Timo,

I have the same issue at the moment, I can not change any of the network configuration or even add/change the notes. Adding a CPU or changing disk or memory is working.
