* vmware_guest: Add support for Linked Clones
* Resolve PEP8 Issues
* Change snapshot_name to snapshot_src
* Add additional option 'snapshot_linked' to specify whether to use a linked clone or not
* Changed snapshot_linked parameter to "linked_clone"
* Remove unnecessary conditional
Fixes issue [#24078](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/24078)
Resource pools are retrieved from VSphere regardless of the state of the `resource_pool` parameter. During this process, each retrieved Resource Pool is checked for the `parent` attribute, and if it exists, the currently-scoped parent object is compared against the Resource Pool's parent object. The method doing the check, however, `assert`s that the parent object is not `None`. In some cases, a Resource Pool will have the `parent` attr, but that `parent` object will be `None`, causing the `assert` to fail.
This should avoid that. :-)
* Adding first checkin of resource_pool module
* fixing length issues and indentation multipliers
* mend
* mend
* mend
* remove * import from modules
* Add space on variable assignments
* changing line 321 to less characters
* fixing pep8 issues
* mend
* cleaning up example section
* Add RETURN section
* adding spacing to list
* all spacing consistent now
* move imports as per CI
Due to how the result-dictionary is being used, in some codepaths it would have an empty dictionary.
This then is problematic if the code expects the 'changed' key later on.
I also improved the docs a bit, by clearly marking the parameter names and URL in the documentation.
Changes to the metadata format were approved here:
https://github.com/ansible/proposals/issues/54
* Update documentation to the new metadata format
* Changes to metadata-tool to account for new metadata
* Add GPL license header
* Add upgrade subcommand to upgrade metadata version
* Change default metadata to the new format
* Fix exclusion of non-modules from the metadata report
* Fix ansible-doc for new module metadata
* Exclude metadata version from ansible-doc output
* Fix website docs generation for the new metadata
* Update metadata schema in valiate-modules test
* Update the metadata in all modules to the new version
* Move gather_facts action outside of vmware_guest module
* Move facts gathering method to vmware.py library
* vmware_guest use some vmware.py library methods
* vmware.py lib: fix some PEP 8 issues
* Move snapshot actions to vmware_guest_snapshot
* Move common snapshot facts to vmware.py library
* Update validate-modules
* Validates ANSIBLE_METADATA
* Ensures imports happen after documentation vars
* Some pep8 cleanup
* Clean up some left over unneeded code
* Update modules for new module guidelines and validate-modules checks
* Update imports for ec2_vpc_route_table and ec2_vpc_nat_gateway
After merging the latest update, these were the few remaining
differences with upstream.
(Plus the previous proposed fast match based on unique VM name which is
not longer needed)
* vmware_guest: networks definition as a list
Currently the networks definition is a dict, with the network range as
key. This is problematic if the network information is coming from other
sources.
This patch turns the networks definition into a list.
This fixes#19222.
* Remove the option to provide either netmask or network
It is more concise if there's only one way to configure it.
So provide both `ip` and `network`.
(I also re-indented a section due to a useless check)
* Fix bugs reported by @dav1x
Thanks !
Changes missing from a poor merge probably, but also a few new things.
- Reordered the examples from important (often used) to less important
(fewer used)
- Remove the new_name: option and replace it with the uuid/name
combination for renaming + added example
- Added an example using the VM uuid instead of the VM name
- Also check whether the password is non-empty (rogue merge)
- Wait for all tasks to finish (to be sure the new facts reflect the
state)
- Ensure that on failure we still set the change-bit
- Moved a set of functions that are unused (related to transfering
files to guest, or running commands) to module_utils
* Idempotency fix on annotations permitting to change them on reconfiguration
* Permit to set VMware customvalues attributes on VM
* Gather annotation & customvalues and report it into module facts
* vmware_guest: various changes and fixes
Most of my queued changes were already implemented by @aperigault !
This was still open
- Typos
- Various fixes to dict.get() without quotes
- Defaults to fullname and orgname (so they are no longer mandatory)
- Add missing timezone implementation
- Remove the customize flag from the options
- Rename 'customizations' to 'customization' (cfr VMware docs and fora)
* Important fixes for idempotency and customization
- A password is mandatory for customization to work on Windows !
- An important fix for idempotency related to guestId
- Support all types of Windows guestId entries
* Suggestion by @aperigault
* Small documentation fixes
- If an absolute path is provided, ensure it starts with /vm
- Also ensure there are no trailing slashes
This gets rid of a few locations where the same was being done.
It also fixes the cases of multiple trailing slashes, or ending up with
/vm/ instead of /vm.
This patch adds support for all other virtual NICs, including:
- pcnet32
- vmxnet2
- e1000e
- sriov
Without this change, VMs with one of these NICs will fail with a
fault.NicSettingMismatch.summary error as it will only add interfaces,
not edit these.
This fixes#19860
A small collection of fixes and improvements:
- Simplify should_deploy_from_template()
- Bugfix for x.config that can be None
- Bugfix for mandatory guest_id (not when using templates)
- Simplify key testing and defaults
- Fix an incorrect reference to the last network
- Duplicate alias 'folder' removed
* vmware_guest: various fixes, improvements & additions
* Add template_flag attribute to define if the destination machine is a
template
* Add helper class to create:
* SCSI controller
* Disks
* Network devices
* New feature: create VM without using templates
* New feature: multiple NIC
* New feature: multiple disks
* New feature: custom SCSI controller types (default: paravirtual)
* New feature: NIC can now be E1000 or VMXNet3 (default)
* New feature: customize NIC mac address
* New feature: new disk option autoselect_datastore permit to select the less used datastore. If datastore field is provided, filter the datastore list before selection
* New feature: Implement disk resizing + addition when state=present and VM exists
* New feature: when state=present and vm exists, modify the current CPU, Memory and disk space
* New feature: add guest_id support permitting to customize & change current VM guest ID in VMWare
* New feature: resource pool support
* New feature: change VM configuration without recreating it (CPU, memory, disks, network, guest ID, resource pool)
* Add 'gatherfacts' state to gather facts on a VM instead of previous 'present' state ('present' ensure the VM configuration)
* Add PyVmomiCache class to cache read only object
* Various python code fixes
* Various documentation fixes
* esxi_hostname & cluster are now exclusive
* Drop ips attribute & set ip directly into networks
* Little performance fixes by removing some duplicate calls to VMWare API
* Python 3 portability fixes
* Create many functions to make the code maintainable
* Cleanup some useless attributes
* Add 'suspended' as desired state for VM
* Make guest_id, memory & CPU number optional in reconfiguration mode
* Note: guest_id is now mandatory to create a VM from scratch (not templating)
* Bux fixes + Do network IP optinal + Add network vlan option
The Instance UUID(refered to as PersistenceUUID in the API) is a the ID
vcenter uses to idenify VMs.
My use case for this is that I configure Zabbix using ansible and its
vmware module relies on using these to identify VMs.
This allows a user to modify the state of the virtual cdrom in a VM
by using the state == reconfigured action. This is useful for
provisioning VMs from templates which do not have ISO images connected.
This commit allows the connection information for
the vsphere_guest module to be provided as environment
variables, which makes it possible to use Cloud
Credentials from Ansible Tower in playbooks that utilize
vsphere_guest.
| ENV VAR | vsphere_guest param |
| --------------- | ---------------------- |
| VMWARE_HOST | vcenter_hostname |
| VMWARE_USER | username |
| VMWARE_PASSWORD | password |
The pysphere VIVirtualMachine.clone() method supports specifying a VM
folder to place the VM in after the clone has completed. This exposes
that functionality to playbooks.
Also documents that creating VMs could always place VMs in a specific
folder.
