The playbook is run each time a vm needs to be allocated. The details for
each vm is store in the group_vars file as follows:
vms
one
- name: vmone
- mem: 4096
- cpus: 2
- disks
- size: 10
- size: 20
two
- name: vmtwo
- mem: 4096
- cpus: 1
- disks:
- size: 10
How to set the previous name and how to loop through each VM is the problem
I’m having. I can store the disk into an array. Vm s have one or two
disks. I want to process the disk for vmone and run virt-install then
repeat for vmtwo, etc
I wish I could give you the playbooks but they reside on another network
which I can’t download from.
I hope this provides enough info that you are able to give me something to
work with. Once I have a starting point I will work with it until I’m able
to get it to do what I need
Thanks
