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. :-)
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
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
