Notes
Note
- This module ought to be run from a system that can access vCenter directly and has the file to transfer. It can be the normal remote target or you can change it either by using
transport: localor usingdelegate_to. - Tested on vSphere 5.5
Examples
- vsphere_copy:
host: '{{ vhost }}'
login: '{{ vuser }}'
password: '{{ vpass }}'
src: /some/local/file
datacenter: DC1 Someplace
datastore: datastore1
path: some/remote/file
delegate_to: localhost
- vsphere_copy:
host: '{{ vhost }}'
login: '{{ vuser }}'
password: '{{ vpass }}'
src: /other/local/file
datacenter: DC2 Someplace
datastore: datastore2
path: other/remote/file
delegate_to: other_system
