vsphere/virtual-machines

A list of Virtual Machines for other tasks to reference.

An array of strings of Virtual Machine as referenced in the vSphere service. This is usually the Virtual Machine name.

This is used by other Tasks to define a list of VMs to operate against.

For example, the vsphere-bootorder-change Task can be run on the Cluster object and all Virtual Machines in that Cluster will have the VM Boot Order updated with network first. However, it is possible to specify VMs independent of Cluster control that you'd like to redefine the Boot Order, and subsequently, setting the VM names in this Param will override the Cluster VM selection process.

Note

The Cluster selection mechanism will attempt to collect the vSphere connection details from the Cluster/Broker profiles. Manually providing a list of Virtual Machine targets will require also setting the Param vsphere/service-connection data structure for the vSphere Host, User, Password, etc. details.
