[Jon POK]

Hello

I am trying to execute this task

- name: Rename Datastores on ESXi host vmware_host_datastore: 

 hostname: '{{ vcenter_hostname }}' 

 username: '{{ vcenter_username }}' 

 password: '{{ vcenter_password }}' 

 datacenter_name: '{{ datacenter }}' 

 datastore_name: datastore(1) 

 rename: new_datastore_1 

 esxi_hostname: '{{ inventory_hostname }}' state: present

but is not working

Has anybody try this and knows how to fix it?

What exactly does "its not working" mean?

Errors, etc?

There is option 'rename' in vmware_host_datastore. If you want to rename an object in VMware please use `vmware_object_rename` module. - https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/blob/main/plugins/modules/vmware_object_rename.py

the problem is that rename var is not recognized via module. Is it possible that module is not valid or has changed name

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Unsupported parameters for (vmware_host_datastore) module: datacener_name, rename Supported parameters include: datastore_name, datastore_type, esxi_hostname, hostname, nfs_path, nfs_ro, nfs_server, password, port, proxy_host, proxy_port, state, username, validate_certs, vmfs_device_name, vmfs_version"}

[Dick Visser]

"datacener_name" looks like a typo

But, as Abhijeet Kasurde already explained:

Maybe stupid qiestion object_moid where I can find it? it seems that rename object without this var wont work

greetings Piotr

[Abhijeet Kasurde]

Hi Piotr,

You can directly use names to rename the object like in your case datastore

  - community.vmware.vmware_object_rename:
      new_name: "DS_117_1"
      object_name: "ds_171_2"
      object_type: Datastore

You can gather information about Managed object id for the datastore using vmware_datastore_info as below

  - name: Provide information about datastore {{ datastore_name }}
    community.vmware.vmware_datastore_info:
      datacenter: Asia-Datacenter1
      name: "{{ datastore_name }}"
      properties:
      - _moId
      schema: vsphere
    delegate_to: localhost
    register: datastore_info

  - set_fact:
      datastore_moid: "{{ datastore_info.datastores[0]['moid'] }}"
    when: datastore_info.datastores[0]['moid'] is defined
