DEPRECATED 

Removed in: major release after 2021-12-01
Why: Deprecated in favour of community.vmware.vmware_drs_rule_info module.
Alternative: Use community.vmware.vmware_drs_rule_info instead.

Synopsis 

This module can be used to gather facts about DRS VM-VM and VM-HOST rules from the given cluster.

Requirements 

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

python >= 2.6
PyVmomi

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
cluster_name string	Name of the cluster. DRS facts for the given cluster will be returned. This is required parameter if `datacenter` parameter is not provided.
datacenter string	Name of the datacenter. DRS facts for all the clusters from the given datacenter will be returned. This is required parameter if `cluster_name` parameter is not provided.
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 aliases: pass, pwd 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.
port integer	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. Default: 443
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 aliases: admin, user 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.
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. Choices: no yes ← (default)

Notes 

Note

Tested on vSphere 6.5
All modules requires API write access and hence is not supported on a free ESXi license.
