vmware_vmkernel_facts – Gathers VMKernel facts about an ESXi host  New in version 2.5.   DEPRECATED Synopsis Requirements Parameters Notes Examples Return Values Status  DEPRECATED    Removed in Ansible: 
 
version: 2.13  
Why:
Deprecated in favour of _info module.  
Alternative:
Use vmware_vmkernel_info instead.   Synopsis  This module can be used to gather VMKernel facts about an ESXi host from given ESXi hostname or cluster name.  Requirements The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.  python >= 2.6 PyVmomi  Parameters   Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments    cluster_name  string      Name of the cluster. VMKernel facts about each ESXi server will be returned for the given cluster. If esxi_hostname is not given, this parameter is required.     esxi_hostname  string      ESXi hostname. VMKernel facts about this ESXi server will be returned. If cluster_name is not given, this parameter is required.     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  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. 
aliases: pass, pwd     port  integer  added in 2.5   Default:443   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.     proxy_host  string  added in 2.9     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 v30.108-96-7148.12     proxy_port  integer  added in 2.9     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  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. 
aliases: admin, user     validate_certs  boolean    
Choices: no 
yes ←    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 yes, please make sure Python >= 2.7.9 is installed on the given machine.     Notes  Note  Tested on vSphere 6.5   Examples - name: Gather VMKernel facts about all ESXi Host in given Cluster
  vmware_vmkernel_facts:
    hostname: '{{ vcenter_hostname }}'
    username: '{{ vcenter_username }}'
    password: '{{ vcenter_password }}'
    cluster_name: cluster_name
  delegate_to: localhost
  register: cluster_host_vmks

- name: Gather VMKernel facts about ESXi Host
  vmware_vmkernel_facts:
    hostname: '{{ vcenter_hostname }}'
    username: '{{ vcenter_username }}'
    password: '{{ vcenter_password }}'
    esxi_hostname: '{{ esxi_hostname }}'
  delegate_to: localhost
  register: host_vmks
 Return Values Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:   Key Returned Description    host_vmk_facts  dictionary   success  metadata about VMKernel present on given host system  Sample: {'+1-831-685-6304': [{'device': 'vmk0', 'dhcp': True, 'enable_ft': False, 'enable_management': True, 'enable_vmotion': False, 'enable_vsan': False, 'ipv4_address': '+1-831-685-6304', 'ipv4_subnet_mask': '+1-831-685-6304', 'key': 'key-vim.host.VirtualNic-vmk0', 'mac': '52:54:00:12:50:ce', 'mtu': 1500, 'portgroup': 'Management Network', 'stack': 'defaultTcpipStack'}]}     Status  This module will be removed in version 2.13. [deprecated]
