* 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.
