I create playbook to disable HA and DRS on vmware cluster and put esxi host in maintanance mode.
First part of playbook use module call vmware_cluster.
To install it use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.vmware.
To use it in a playbook, specify: community.vmware.vmware_cluster.

Second part playbook related with esxi host maintenance mode use module call vmware_maintenancemode.
