ISSUE TYPE
- Bug Report
COMPONENT NAME
vmware_guest
ANSIBLE VERSION
ansible 2.9.10
OS / ENVIRONMENT
vSphere 6.7.0.43000
Ansible on Debian 10 (codename Buster)
python version = 3.7.3 (default, Jul 25 2020, 13:03:44) [GCC 8.3.0] (installed from debian repository)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
ansible-playbook -vvvv mod_datastore.yml --extra-vars "vmintname=worker-c6 storage=internal-54 size=9"
---
- name: Migrate VM to other datastore only
hosts: localhost
connection: local

EXPECTED RESULTS
- Disk will be migrated to other datastore.
ACTUAL RESULTS
- Disk remains on the initial datastore, no attempts to relocate VM disk and files.

@zeph-rpulse Thanks for reporting this issue. I would see this as a new module where you can relocate the existing VM based upon the user-provided values.
Feel free to engage and raise a PR. Thanks.
@Akasurde Could you help me with this issue?
We want to relocate ( change disk datastore) using vpshere. Vm has 3 different disks and these 3 disks have 3 different datastore.
Hi. There is still no possibility to relocate vm disk to new datastore. My VMs has more than one disks. and they have to be located on a different datastores.
