The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| cluster_name string | Name of the cluster from which all host systems will be used. This parameter is required if esxi_hostname is not specified and you connect to a vCenter.Cannot be used when you connect directly to an ESXi host. | |
| device string | The VMkernel network adapter to obtain DNS settings from. Needs to get its IP through DHCP, a static network configuration combined with a dynamic DNS configuration doesn't work. The parameter is only required in case of type is set to dhcp. | |
| dns_servers list / elements=string | A list of DNS servers to be used. The order of the DNS servers is important as they are used consecutively in order. | |
| domain string | The domain name to be used for the ESXi host. | |
| esxi_hostname string | Name of the host system to work with. This parameter is required if cluster_name is not specified and you connect to a vCenter.Cannot be used when you connect directly to an ESXi host. | |
| host_name string | The hostname to be used for the ESXi host. Cannot be used when configuring a complete cluster. | |
| hostname string | The hostname or IP address of the vSphere vCenter or ESXi server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable VMWARE_HOST will be used instead.Environment variable support added in Ansible 2.6. | |
| password string | The password of the vSphere vCenter or ESXi server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable VMWARE_PASSWORD will be used instead.Environment variable support added in Ansible 2.6. aliases: pass, pwd | |
| port integer | Default: 443 | The port number of the vSphere vCenter or ESXi server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable VMWARE_PORT will be used instead.Environment variable support added in Ansible 2.6. |
| proxy_host string | Address of a proxy that will receive all HTTPS requests and relay them. The format is a hostname or a IP. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable VMWARE_PROXY_HOST will be used instead.This feature depends on a version of pyvmomi greater than v6.7.1.2018.12 | |
| proxy_port integer | Port of the HTTP proxy that will receive all HTTPS requests and relay them. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable VMWARE_PROXY_PORT will be used instead. | |
| search_domains list / elements=string | A list of domains to be searched through by the resolver. | |
| type string / required |
| Type of DNS assignment. Either dhcp or static.A VMkernel adapter needs to be set to DHCP if type is set to dhcp. |
| username string | The username of the vSphere vCenter or ESXi server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable VMWARE_USER will be used instead.Environment variable support added in Ansible 2.6. aliases: admin, user | |
| validate_certs boolean |
| Allows connection when SSL certificates are not valid. Set to false when certificates are not trusted.If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable VMWARE_VALIDATE_CERTS will be used instead.Environment variable support added in Ansible 2.6. If set to yes, please make sure Python >= 2.7.9 is installed on the given machine. |
| verbose boolean |
| Verbose output of the DNS server configuration change. Explains if an DNS server was added, removed, or if the DNS server sequence was changed. |
