Running Proxmox 8.2 on 3 nodes (bare metal) and deploying everything with Ansible.
For some reason, it works fine for all VMs, except one. I deploy my VMs with Ansible using a
The Ansible playbook and roles worked fine before I created this VM but now the playbook stumbles across the following task:
The purpose of this Ansible task is to extract the VM info in a way I can use in the follow-up tasks. It returns the proxmox VM info for all VMs based on the Debian template, but the info for the Ubuntu VM is empty as can be seen from this snippit of the extracted `vm_info.results`:
The PVE API returns nothing for that one VM. What could cause this?
EDIT: tested with 2 other manually cloned VMs (one Debian and one Ubuntu 24.10) and they were picked up just fine by the `vminfo` task.
