Parameters
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | 
|---|---|---|
|   affinity_rule    boolean    |   
  |    If set to   True, the DRS rule will be an Affinity rule.If set to   False, the DRS rule will be an Anti-Affinity rule.Effective only if   state is set to present. |  
|   cluster_name    string / required    |    Desired cluster name where virtual machines are present for the DRS rule.   |  |
|   drs_rule_name    string / required    |    The name of the DRS rule to manage.   |  |
|   enabled    boolean    |   
  |    If set to   True, the DRS rule will be enabled.Effective only if   state is set to present. |  
|   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.   |  |
|   mandatory    boolean    |   
  |    If set to   True, the DRS rule will be mandatory.Effective only if   state is set to present. |  
|   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. |  |
|   state    string    |   
  |    If set to   present, then the DRS rule is created if not present.If set to   present, then the DRS rule is already present, it updates to the given configurations.If set to   absent, then the DRS rule is deleted if present. |  
|   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. |  
|   vms    list / elements=string    |    List of virtual machines name for which DRS rule needs to be applied.  Required if   state is set to present. |
