Can I deploy a virtual machine on a standalone ESXi server ?
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------
|

|
|
Yes. ``vmware_guest`` can deploy a virtual machine with required settings on a standalone ESXi server.

Is ``/vm`` required for ``vmware_guest`` module ?
|
|
|

-------------------------------------------------

|
Prior to Ansible version 2.5, ``folder`` was an optional parameter with a default value of ``/vm``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The folder parameter was used to discover information about virtual machines in the given infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Starting with Ansible version 2.5, ``folder`` is still an optional parameter with no default value.
|
|
|
|
|
This parameter will be now used to identify a user's virtual machine, if multiple virtual machines or virtual
|
|
|
|
|
machine templates are found with same name. VMware does not restrict the system administrator from creating virtual
|
|
|
|
|
machines with same name.
