Synopsis

Adds a virtual SCSI adapter to the virtual machine

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Default	Description
vcenter_hostname	string	yes		The hostname or IP address of the vSphere vCenter
If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(VMWARE_HOST) will be used instead.
vcenter_username	string	yes		The vSphere vCenter username
If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(VMWARE_USER) will be used instead.
vcenter_password	string	yes		The vSphere vCenter password
If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(VMWARE_PASSWORD) will be used instead.
vcenter_validate_certs	bool		`true`	Allows connection when SSL certificates are not valid. 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.
vcenter_rest_log_file	string			You can use this optional parameter to set the location of a log file.
This file will be used to record the HTTP REST interaction.
The file will be stored on the host that runs the module.
If the value is not specified in the task, the value of
environment variable C(VMWARE_REST_LOG_FILE) will be used instead.
session_timeout	float			Timeout settings for client session.
The maximal number of seconds for the whole operation including connection establishment, request sending and response.
The default value is 300s.
adapter	string			Virtual SCSI adapter identifier.
The parameter must be the id of a resource returned by M(vmware.vmware_rest.vcenter_vm_hardware_adapter_scsi). Required with I(state=[‘absent’, ‘present’])
bus	int		`0`	SCSI bus number.
If unset, the server will choose an available bus number; if none is available, the request will fail.
label	string			The name of the item
pci_slot_number	int			Address of the SCSI adapter on the PCI bus. If the PCI address is invalid, the server will change it when the VM is started or as the device is hot added.
If unset, the server will choose an available address when the virtual machine is powered on.
sharing	string			The I(sharing) enumerated type defines the valid bus sharing modes for a virtual SCSI adapter.
state	string		`present`	Operation to perform; allowed values: absent, present.
type	string			The I(type) enumerated type defines the valid emulation types for a virtual SCSI adapter.
vm	string	yes		Virtual machine identifier.
The parameter must be the id of a resource returned by M(vmware.vmware_rest.vcenter_vm_info). This parameter is mandatory.
