This module can be used to gather facts on all of the VMware ESXi hosts within your cluster:
- name: Find out facts about the packages on all the ESXi hosts vmware_host_package_facts: hostname: "{{ vsphere_host }}" username: "{{ vsphere_username }}" password: "{{ vsphere_password }}" validate_certs: "no" cluster_name: "my_cluster" register: cluster_packages
Like the rest of the facts modules, it can also gather for just a single host:
- name: Find out facts about the packages on a single ESXi host vmware_host_package_facts: hostname: "{{ vsphere_host }}" username: "{{ vsphere_username }}" password: "{{ vsphere_password }}" validate_certs: "no" esxi_hostname: "{{ exsi_host }}" register: host_packages
