vmware_datastore_maintenancemode – Place a datastore into maintenance mode  New in version 2.6.   Synopsis Requirements Parameters Notes Examples Return Values Status  Synopsis  This module can be used to manage maintenance mode of a datastore.  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 where datastore is connected to. If multiple datastores are connected to the given cluster, then all datastores will be managed by state. If datastore or datastore_cluster are not set, this parameter is required.     datastore  string      Name of datastore to manage. If datastore_cluster or cluster_name are not set, this parameter is required.     datastore_cluster  string      Name of the datastore cluster from all child datastores to be managed. If datastore or cluster_name are not set, 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 v30.092-12-3610.12     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.     state  string    
Choices: 
present ← absent    If set to present, then enter datastore into maintenance mode. If set to present and datastore is already in maintenance mode, then no action will be taken. If set to absent and datastore is in maintenance mode, then exit maintenance mode. If set to absent and datastore is not in maintenance mode, then no action will be taken.     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 5.5, 6.0 and 6.5   Examples - name: Enter datastore into Maintenance Mode
