vmware_vmotion doesn't migrate vms between resourcepools unless it's migrating VMs for other reasons.

[kbrowder]

SUMMARY

vmware_vmotion should be able to move a VM to a new resourcepool even if destination_host isn't changed.
I think some minor additional logic could allow this to happen in these lines to detect if the resourcepool is being changed.

community.vmware/plugins/modules/vmware_vmotion.py

Lines 390 to 399 in 9b138fe

	# Get Destination resourcepool
	dest_resourcepool = self.params.get('destination_resourcepool', None)
	self.resourcepool_object = None
	if dest_resourcepool:
	self.resourcepool_object = find_resource_pool_by_name(content=self.content,
	resource_pool_name=dest_resourcepool)
	if self.resourcepool_object is None:
	self.module.fail_json(msg="Unable to find destination resource pool object for %s" % dest_resourcepool)
	elif not dest_resourcepool and self.host_object:
	self.resourcepool_object = self.host_object.parent.resourcePool

It'd be nice if the following could work:

- name: Perform vMotion of virtual machine to resource_pool
  community.vmware.vmware_vmotion:
    hostname: '{{ vcenter_hostname }}'
    username: '{{ vcenter_username }}'
    password: '{{ vcenter_password }}'
    moid: vm-42
    destination_resourcepool: 'destination_resourcepool_as_per_vcenter'
  delegate_to: localhost
