如何使用 vsphere_guest Ansible 模块在独立 ESXi 主机上创建 VM

Question

我正在尝试使用 ansible playbook 在独立 ESXi 主机上创建 VM。 我在下面的链接中看到我们可以使用“ha-datacenter”作为数据中心名称来在独立的 ESXi 主机上创建虚拟机。

Can I manage guest VMs in vSphere free using Ansible without vCenter?

但是，我在尝试运行 playbook 时遇到以下错误 请指教

Error
[Parameter Error]: 'host' should be a string with the ESX/VC url

以下是剧本内容

cmets 的回答：

为什么vcenter_hostname 被注释掉了？

-

这就是问题所在，我给了 esxi 的主机名而不是 ip 并且它起作用了
