This ansible playbook bundle imports a Virtual Machine into a cluster with KubeVirt APB installed.
Virtual machines can be imported from a URL or from VMWare (coming soon).
To use this option, select the Import from URL plan. You will need to supply the location of a virtual machine disk image and other basic parameters to define the new virtual machine. Once deployed, a PVC is created and the disk image is downloaded from the specified location. A virtual machine is created and associated with the imported disk image.
The current design of this APB requires that an OpenShift User and corresponding password be specified. This is a temporary inconvenience which should be removed in the near future. Please be sure to choose an account that has privileges to create resources (PVC and OfflineVirtualMachine) in the chosen project.
This APB relies on the Containerized Data Importer (CDI) which is installed along with KubeVirt. CDI can import images in raw and qcow2 format. Compressed images in the gz and xz formats are supported.
The operating system installed in a virtual machine disk image may make certain assumptions about the underlying hardware platform. In order for the virtual machine to run properly, choose a virtual machine type that most closely matches the virtual machine being imported. Currently only 'default' is available but more types will be added as needed.
| Parameter | Default value | Options | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Openshift User | see above | ||
| Openshift Password | see above | ||
| Disk Image URL | The location of the virtual machine disk image. | ||
| Virtual Machine Type | default |
|
see above |
| Virtual Machine Name | Choose a unique name for the new virtual machine. | ||
| Number of CPUs | 1 | The number virtual CPU cores to assign to the virtual machine. | |
| Memory | 1024 | The amount of memory (in Megabytes) to assign to the virtual machine. |
To use this option, select the Import from VMWare plan. You will need to supply VMware's url from where you want to import, virtual machine name to be imported and the VMware's administrator credentials. Once deployed, a virtual machine is created with a PVC containing imported image from VMware.
The current design of this APB requires that an OpenShift User and corresponding password be specified. This is a temporary inconvenience which should be removed in the near future. Please be sure to choose an account that has privileges to create resources (PVC and OfflineVirtualMachine) in the chosen project.
At the moment we can import virtual machine having one disk and one network interface.
