Ansible With_Item as Variable

[David Foley]

Hi All,

Could do with some Help with this issue:

I am trying to get the Powerstate of a Virtual Machine and power off when powerstate != poweroff

and looking at a way to copy the copy the Cluster variable to a Text File:

---

    - name: Running Create Virtual Machine Playbook

      hosts: localhost

      gather_facts: false

      connection: local

      tasks:

      - name: Getting Info from Virtual Machine

        vmware_vm_info:

          validate_certs: no

          hostname: "{{ vcenter }}"

          username: "{{ user }}"

          password: "{{ password }}"

          folder: "/"

        delegate_to: localhost

        register: vminfo

      - debug:

          msg: "{{ item.power_state }}"

        with_items:

          - "{{ vm_info.virtual_machines | json_query(query) }}"

        vars:

          query: "[?guest_name=='win201_old']"

          

       - vmware_guest_powerstate:

           validate_certs: no

           hostname: "{{ vcenter }}"

           username: "{{ user }}"

           password: "{{ password }}"

           name: win201_old

           state: powered-off

         delegate_to: localhost

         when: "{{ item.power_state }}" != "poweredOff"

       - name: Copy Variable

         copy:

          content: '{{ item.cluster }}'

          dest: /srv/ansible/test.txt 

       delegate_to: localhost
