Examples
- vsphere_copy: host=vhost login=vuser password=vpass src=/some/local/file datacenter='DC1 Someplace' datastore=datastore1 path=some/remote/file transport: local - vsphere_copy: host=vhost login=vuser password=vpass src=/other/local/file datacenter='DC2 Someplace' datastore=datastore2 path=other/remote/file delegate_to: other_system

This module ought to be run from a system that can access vCenter directly and has the file to transfer. It can be the normal remote target or you can change it either by using transport: local or using delegate_to.
