- - -Notes ------ - -.. note:: - - Please make sure that the user used for :ref:`community.vmware.vmware_guest ` has the correct level of privileges. - - For example, following is the list of minimum privileges required by users to create virtual machines. - - DataStore > Allocate Space - - Virtual Machine > Configuration > Add New Disk - - Virtual Machine > Configuration > Add or Remove Device - - Virtual Machine > Inventory > Create New - - Network > Assign Network - - Resource > Assign Virtual Machine to Resource Pool - - Module may require additional privileges as well, which may be required for gathering facts - e.g. ESXi configurations. - - Use SCSI disks instead of IDE when you want to expand online disks by specifying a SCSI controller. - - Uses SysPrep for Windows VM (depends on 'guest_id' parameter match 'win') with PyVmomi. - - In order to change the VM's parameters (e.g. number of CPUs), the VM must be powered off unless the hot-add support is enabled and the ``state=present`` must be used to apply the changes. - - For additional information please visit Ansible VMware community wiki - https://github.com/ansible/community/wiki/VMware. - - All modules requires API write access and hence is not supported on a free ESXi license. -
