Hi There,
This is my first time digging around here and I am not sure if this is a
bug or if I am missing somehting. In case this is a bug I would happily
open a bug report.
I have been using/testing the vmware_guest plugin to create new VM's from
template. We have an Vsphere 6.0 environment and I am testing this with
CentOS 6 and CentOS 7.
Now I know that, given I have a template which was created with lets say
16GB disk space, I am not able to create a new VM from this template with
less than 16GB disk space. Thats fine.
If I create a new VM using a template, and assign lets say 32GB disk space,
what is the expected outcome?
Using cfdisk I can see that the additional space is allocated, but the
partition (LVM) is not resized. But I think I remember, that in the past,
this was working and the partition was resized as well (I may be wrong
though).
I tested this with a lot of settings now and noticed that I used the state
"poweredon" all the time instead of "present"(as the docs say "If state is
set to present and VM exists, ensure the VM configuration conforms to task
arguments"). But even when I changed it to "present" again, this did not
work either.
Tested with Ansible version 2.3.0 & 2.3.1.
Code is as follow:
>
> ---
> - name: Create VM
> vmware_guest:
> hostname: "{{ vsphere_hostname }}"
> username: "{{ vsphere_username }}"
> password: "{{ vsphere_password }}"
> cluster: "{{ vsphere_cluster }}"
> datacenter: "{{ vsphere_dc }}"
> folder: "{{ vm_folder }}"
> name: "{{ vm_hostname }}"
> state: "{{ vm_state }}"
> validate_certs: False
> guest_id: centos64Guest
> disk:
> - size_gb: "{{ vm_hdd_size }}"
> type: thin
> autoselect_datastore: true
> hardware:
> memory_mb: "{{ vm_mem_mb }}"
> num_cpus: "{{ vm_num_cpu }}"
> scsi: paravirtual
> template: "{{ vm_template }}"
> wait_for_ip_address: yes
Also network settings are not getting passed through to the VM (IP, Subnet,
...). I worked around this using vmware_shell
Cheers,
Mike
