An ansible play for ghettoVCB
This configuration assumes that you have a pre-configured datastore where you won't delete your ghettoVCB scripts upon upgrading or re-installing your ESX environment such as on your NFS or iSCSI storage array(s), and this also assumes that you have Ansible running on a Linux machine. In CentOS you can do yum install ansible -y after installing the EPEL packages.
modify these 3 variables: ghettoVCB, invFile, logFile with the full path to them on the shared storage device. It usually looks something like this:
ghettoVCB: '/vmfs/volumes/array1/vcb/ghettoVCB.sh'
invFile: '/vmfs/volumes/array1/vcb/baklist'
logFile: '/vmfs/volumes/array1/vcb/logs/vcblog_`date+\%Y\%m\%d\%h\%M\%S`.log 2>&1'
save the YAML file then modify the hosts file with the ESX(i) server you want to run the ghettoVCB scripts on.
run the command
ansible-playbook -i vmhosts ansible-ghettoVCB.yml -k
It should start to run the playbook.
