- Ansible will now warn if two aliases of the same option are used for Python modules.
- Check dvs in the given portgroup before accessing any properties of dvs (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/59952). This can be due to permission issue or no association between distributed virtual portgroup and dvswitch.
