- xenserver module_util: fixed comment in set_vm_power_state().
- xenserver module_util: renamed cdrom.iso VM fact to cdrom.iso_name
in gather_vm_facts() to be in line with module parameter of same name.
- xenserver module_util: sorted IPv6 addresses by their OS index
in gather_vm_facts().
- xenserver_guest module: fixed a bug in deploy() where an error message
would not be shown when VM name is empty and check mode is used.
- xenserver_guest module: fixed a bug in destroy() where VM would be
shut down by error when check mode is used.
- xenserver_guest module: fixed a bug in get_changes() where wrong
out-of-bound disk position would be shown in error message when
CD-ROM device occupies last position.
- xenserver_guest module: assume value "none" for "networks.type" and
"networks.type6" module parameters in get_changes() when no value is
found in xenstore_data (custom customization agent).
- xenserver_guest module: added separate error message in get_changes()
for a case when maximum number of network interfaces is reached.
- xenserver_guest module: negative value for disk size in
get_normalized_disk_size() now properly shows an error.
- xenserver module_util: removed dead code. Attempting to call fail_json() on
nonexistent/bad module reference is a bad idea.
- xenserver module_util: fixed a bug in wait_for_task function where function
will fail to wait indefinitely when timeout=0 is used.
- xenserver_guest module: removed unused imports.
- More info added to module docs.
- Fixed errors and typos in module docs.
- Added parameter types to module docs.
- Some error messages are fixed and/or changed to be more helpful.
- Some code comments changed and added.
- Updated unit tests that test changed error messages.
- Improved module examples.
- Improved docs for custom_params xenserver_guest module parameter
- xenserver module_util: fixed a bug in gather_vm_params function where
an exception was generated if XenServer product_version_text_short
parameter contained non numeric characters, e.g. "7.1 CU1" on
XenServer version 7.1 with Cummulative Update 1. Code was changed
to use product_version parameter instead which is all numeric.
- xenserver module_util: get_xenserver_version function is changed
to return a list of integers for major, minor and update version
instead of list of strings.
- xenserver module_util: unit tests are updated according to changes.
- xenserver module_util: removed unused imports.
* XenServer related modules - initial commit
- New module_util: xenserver. Contains common module arguments, functions
and classes useful for future XenServer related modules.
- New module_docs_fragment: xenserver. Describes common module arguments.
- New module: xenserver_guest. Supports VM deployment, reconfiguration,
removal, detection of changes, state management, fact gathering and
Ansible check mode. Module is fully documented.
- Updated: developing_module_utilities.rst.
- Module params, workflow and some functions are based on or taken from
vmware_guest module.
* Implemented support for configuring custom VM params in xenserver_guest module
* Compatibility fixes and documentation update
- xenserver module_util: implemented support for XenAPI.py version older
than 7.2.
- xenserver module_util: PEP8 fixes.
- xenserver module_util: Added missing imports.
- xenserver module_util: Copyright notice fixes.
- xenserver_guest module: updated module documentation with notes regarding
module requirements and compatibility.
- xenserver_guest module: bumped version_added to 2.7.
- xenserver_guest module: minor fixes.
* VM power state management refactoring, subargument specs in xenserver_guest module, other fixes
- VM power state management code moved from xenserver_guest module to xenserver
module_util (set_vm_power_state function).
- Code for waiting for VM IP address moved from xenserver_guest module to
xenserver module_util (wait_for_vm_ip_address function).
- xenserver module_util: implemented get_object_ref function to clean up
a lot of repeated code in xenserver_guest module.
- xenserver module_util: added additional aliases 'host' and 'pool' for
'hostname' common module argument. They are more in line with what
XenServer users are familiar with.
- xenserver module_util: minor fixes.
- xenserver_guest module: removed VM state management other than 'present',
'absent' and 'poweredon'. Other states are to be managed by separate module.
- xenserver_guest module: added subargument specs and cleaned up custom code
for subargument validation.
- xenserver_guest module: reorganized code for disk and network reconfiguation
to minimize code duplication.
- xenserver_guest module: renamed 'cdrom.iso' module argument to
'cdrom.iso_name', avoids cryptic error message when parameter is
missing.
- xenserver_guest module: documentation update.
- xenserver_guest module: changes in error messages.
- xenserver_guest module: minor fixes.
* Implemented guest OS network parameter configuration and other
- xenserver module_util: moved code for validating MAC addresses from
xenserver_guest module and implemented a range of functions for validating
IP addresses and related entities and converting prefixes to netmasks and
vice versa.
- xenserver module_util: updated fact gathering code to support guest OS
network parameters.
- xenserver module_util: added docstrings.
- xenserver module_util: minor changes.
- xenserver_guest module: implemented support for guest OS network parameter
configuration.
- xenserver_guest module: changed CD-ROM handling code.
- xenserver_guest module: changed so that user friendly version of changes
list is always returned in module result.
- xenserver_guest module: error message changes.
- xenserver_guest module: added docstrings.
- xenserver_guest module: documentation update.
- xenserver_guest module: minor changes and fixes.
* Various fixes and code cleanup
- xenserver module_util: implemented get_xenserver_version function.
- xenserver module_util: moved customization agent detection code to
gather_vm_params function. customization_agent variable is now part of
vm_params. An exception in customization agent detection code that prevented
deployment of new VMs is also fixed.
- xenserver module_util: added support for alternative VM state names with
dash and underscore in set_power_state function.
- xenserver_guest module: removed customization agent detection code
as it is now implemented in xenserver module_util.
- xenserver_guest module: fixed a bug in xenserver_data update code that
occured when "networks.mac" was not specified in module params and
other fixes.
- xenserver_guest module: some code cleanup.
- xenserver_guest module: bumped version_added to 2.8.
