Current behavior
VMs can have duplicate names as this is allowed by the underlying infrastructure and idempotency is achieved via vm_uuid.
Customers have discussed a few workarounds , however, these are more time consuming and add unwanted overhead.
Expected behavior
Have a simple mechanism within the ntnx_vms module to prevent VM creation when VM name already exists (allow only vm unique names)
Describe the request Customers would like to be prevented from creating a VM if same VM name already exists. This was discussed on a separate thread: https://github.com/nutanix/nutanix.ansible/issues/284
