Synopsis

  • With the module you can retrieve and output detailed information about the attached disks of the target and its volumes and partitions if existent.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • Windows 8.1 / Windows 2012 (NT 6.2)

Notes

Note

Examples

- name: Get disk facts
  community.windows.win_disk_facts:

- name: Output first disk size
  debug:
    var: ansible_facts.disks[0].size

- name: Convert first system disk into various formats
  debug:
    msg: '{{ disksize_gib }} vs {{ disksize_gib_human }}'
  vars:
    # Get first system disk
    disk: '{{ ansible_facts.disks|selectattr("system_disk")|first }}'

    # Show disk size in Gibibytes
    disksize_gib_human: '{{ disk.size|filesizeformat(true) }}'   # returns "223.6 GiB" (human readable)
    disksize_gib: '{{ (disk.size/1024|pow(3))|round|int }} GiB'  # returns "224 GiB" (value in GiB)

    # Show disk size in Gigabytes
    disksize_gb_human: '{{ disk.size|filesizeformat }}'        # returns "240.1 GB" (human readable)
