community.vmware.vmware_vm_storage_policy – Create vSphere storage policies  Note This plugin is part of the community.vmware collection (version 1.6.0). To install it use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.vmware. To use it in a playbook, specify: community.vmware.vmware_vm_storage_policy.   New in version 1.0.0: of community.vmware   Synopsis Requirements Parameters Notes Examples Return Values  Synopsis  A vSphere storage policy defines metadata that describes storage requirements for virtual machines and storage capabilities of storage providers. Currently, only tag-based storage policy creation is supported.  Requirements The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.  python >= 2.7 PyVmomi  Parameters   Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments    description  string      Description of the storage policy to create or update. This parameter is ignored when state=absent.     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.     name  string / required      Name of the storage policy to create, update, or delete.     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    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      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 v30.634-47-8322.12     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.     state  string    
Choices: absent 
present ←    State of storage policy. If set to present, the storage policy is created. If set to absent, the storage policy is deleted.     tag_affinity  boolean    
Choices: no 
yes ←    If set to true, the storage policy enforces that virtual machines require the existence of a tag for datastore placement. If set to false, the storage policy enforces that virtual machines require the absence of a tag for datastore placement. This parameter is ignored when state=absent.     tag_category  string      Name of the pre-existing tag category to assign to the storage policy. This parameter is ignored when state=absent. This parameter is required when state=present.     tag_name  string      Name of the pre-existing tag to assign to the storage policy. This parameter is ignored when state=absent. This parameter is required when state=present.     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 true, please make sure Python >= 2.7.9 is installed on the given machine.     Notes  Note  Tested on vSphere 6.5   Examples - name: Create or update a vSphere tag-based storage policy
