…ion_vcenter vmware.vmware.guest_info uses the vSphere REST API session endpoint (com.vmware.cis.session) which only exists on vCenter Server. When deploying to standalone ESXi, the module fails with: ApiAccessError: Unknown interface: com.vmware.cis.session Replace with community.vmware.vmware_vm_info which uses pyvmomi/SOAP and works on both vCenter and standalone ESXi. The role already depends on community.vmware (vmware_guest_powerstate on line 43). Tested against standalone ESXi 8.0.2 build-23305546. Regression introduced in commit 498656e (Aug 2024) which replaced community.vmware modules with vmware.vmware certified modules without accounting for standalone ESXi API differences.
