ansible-role-infra-vmware

A role to bootstrap VMware infrastructure using Cobbler for OpenShift, k8s, or Docker workloads

Requirements

No extra requirements.

Role Variables

The following vars should be configured for proper targetting of VMware and Cobbler environments:

    esxi_hostname: "{{ vsphere_host | default('esx.gxr.me') }}"
    esxi_datastore: "{{ vsphere_ds | default('localDS') }}"
    esxi_datacenter: "{{ vsphere_dc | default('ha-datacenter') }}"
    vmstate: "{{ vsphere_vmstate | default('poweredon')"
    cobbler_hostname: "{{ cobbler_srv_hostname | default ('cobbler.gxr.me') }}"
    cobbler_profile: "{{ cobbler_srv_profile | default ('centos7-min-x86_64') }}"

The following vars should be configured for proper host/VM configuration:

    disks:
      - datastore: localDS
        type: thin
        size_gb: '25'
      - datastore: localDS
        type: thin
        size_gb: '15'

    memory: 4096

Note that only the first disk in the array [of dictionaries] is provisioned as the root disk. Supplemental disks are added after PXE provisioning is complete.

Dependencies

No extra dependencies, though you can use https://github.com/bertvv/ansible-role-cobbler to quickly configure a new Cobbler server.

Example Playbook

Sample Playbook:

- name: Create ESXi Guest

    esxi_datacenter: "{{ vsphere_dc | default('ha-datacenter') }}"
    vmstate: "poweredon"
    cobbler_hostname: "{{ cobbler_srv_hostname | default ('cobbler.gxr.me') }}"
    cobbler_profile: "{{ cobbler_srv_profile | default ('centos7-min-x86_64') }}"
  roles:
    - ansible-role-infra-vmware
