The Instance UUID(refered to as PersistenceUUID in the API) is a the ID
vcenter uses to idenify VMs.
My use case for this is that I configure Zabbix using ansible and its
vmware module relies on using these to identify VMs.
This allows a user to modify the state of the virtual cdrom in a VM
by using the state == reconfigured action. This is useful for
provisioning VMs from templates which do not have ISO images connected.
This commit allows the connection information for
the vsphere_guest module to be provided as environment
variables, which makes it possible to use Cloud
Credentials from Ansible Tower in playbooks that utilize
vsphere_guest.
| ENV VAR | vsphere_guest param |
| --------------- | ---------------------- |
| VMWARE_HOST | vcenter_hostname |
| VMWARE_USER | username |
| VMWARE_PASSWORD | password |
The pysphere VIVirtualMachine.clone() method supports specifying a VM
folder to place the VM in after the clone has completed. This exposes
that functionality to playbooks.
Also documents that creating VMs could always place VMs in a specific
folder.
