Set to C(false) when certificates are not trusted. - If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(VMWARE_VALIDATE_CERTS) will be used instead. - Environment variable support added in Ansible 2.6. - If set to C(true), please make sure Python >= 2.7.9 is installed on the given machine. type: bool ha_vm_monitoring: choices: - vmAndAppMonitoring - vmMonitoringOnly - vmMonitoringDisabled default: vmMonitoringDisabled description: - State of virtual machine health monitoring service. - If set to C(vmAndAppMonitoring), HA response to both virtual machine and application heartbeat failure. - If set to C(vmMonitoringDisabled), virtual machine health monitoring is disabled. - If set to C(vmMonitoringOnly), HA response to virtual machine heartbeat failure. - If C(enable_ha) is set to C(no), then this value is ignored. type: str ha_vm_min_up_time: default: 120 description: - The number of seconds for the virtual machine's heartbeats to stabilize after the virtual machine has been powered on. - Valid only when I(ha_vm_monitoring) is set to either C(vmAndAppMonitoring) or C(vmMonitoringOnly). - Unit is seconds. type: int ha_host_monitoring: choices: - enabled - disabled default: enabled description: - Whether HA restarts virtual machines after a host fails. - If set to C(enabled), HA restarts virtual machines after a host fails. - If set to C(disabled), HA does not restart virtual machines after a host fails. - If C(enable_ha) is set to C(no), then this value is ignored. type: str ha_vm_max_failures: default: 3 description: - Maximum number of failures and automated resets allowed during the time that C(ha_vm_max_failure_window) specifies. -

If set to C(disabled), then HA is disabled for this virtual machine. - If set to C(high), then virtual machine with this priority have a higher chance of powering on after a failure, when there is insufficient capacity on hosts to meet all virtual machine needs. - If set to C(medium), then virtual machine with this priority have an intermediate chance of powering on after a failure, when there is insufficient capacity on hosts to meet all virtual machine needs. - If set to C(low), then virtual machine with this priority have a lower chance of powering on after a failure, when there is insufficient capacity on hosts to meet all virtual machine needs. type: str ha_vm_failure_interval: default: 30 description: - The number of seconds after which virtual machine is declared as failed if no heartbeat has been received. - This setting is only valid if C(ha_vm_monitoring) is set to, either C(vmAndAppMonitoring) or C(vmMonitoringOnly). - Unit is seconds. type: int host_isolation_response: choices: - none - powerOff - shutdown default: none description: - Indicates whether or VMs should be powered off if a host determines that it is isolated from the rest of the compute resource. - If set to C(none), do not power off VMs in the event of a host network isolation. - If set to C(powerOff), power off VMs in the event of a host network isolation. - If set to C(shutdown), shut down VMs guest operating system in the event of a host network isolation. type: str ha_vm_max_failure_window: default: -1 description: -
