 - PyVmomi
 
Parameters
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | 
|---|---|---|
|   cluster_name    string    |    Name of the cluster.  SSL thumbprint information about all ESXi host system in the given cluster will be reported.  If   esxi_hostname is not given, this parameter is required. |  |
|   esxi_hostname    string    |    ESXi hostname.  SSL thumbprint information of this ESXi host system will be reported.  If   cluster_name is not given, this parameter is required. |  |
|   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. |  |
|   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   true, please make sure Python >= 2.7.9 is installed on the given machine. |
