Breaking Changes / Porting Guide

  • vmware_datastore_maintenancemode - now returns datastore_status instead of Ansible internal key results.
  • vmware_guest_custom_attributes - does not require VM name which was a required parameter for releases prior to Ansible 2.10.
  • vmware_guest_find - the datacenter option has been removed.
  • vmware_host_kernel_manager - now returns host_kernel_status instead of Ansible internal key results.
  • vmware_host_ntp - now returns host_ntp_status instead of Ansible internal key results.
  • vmware_host_service_manager - now returns host_service_status instead of Ansible internal key results.
  • vmware_tag - now returns tag_status instead of Ansible internal key results.
  • vmware_vmkernel - the options ip_address and subnet_mask have been removed; use the suboptions ip_address and subnet_mask of the network option instead.

Deprecated Features

  • The vmware_dns_config module has been deprecated and will be removed in a later release; use vmware_host_dns instead.
  • vca - vca_fw, vca_nat, vca_app are deprecated since these modules rely on deprecated part of Pyvcloud library.
  • vmware_tag_info - in a later release, the module will not return tag_facts since it does not return multiple tags with the same name and different category id. To maintain the existing behavior use tag_info which is a list of tag metadata.

Removed Features (previously deprecated)

  • vmware_portgroup - removed 'inbound_policy', and 'rolling_order' deprecated options.
