Getting Started With vSphere
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
VMware vSphere is a management platform for virtual infrastructure and cloud
|
|
computing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dependencies
|
|
============
|
|
The vSphere module for Salt Cloud requires the PySphere package, which is
|
|
available at PyPI:
|
|
|
|
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pysphere
|
|
|
|
This package can be installed using `pip` or `easy_install`:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
# pip install pysphere
|
|
# easy_install pysphere
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
=============
|
|
Set up the cloud config at ``/etc/salt/cloud.providers`` or in the
|
|
``/etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/`` directory:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
my-vsphere-config:
|
|
provider: vsphere
|
|
# Set the vSphere access credentials
|
|
user: marco
|
|
password: polo
|
|
# Set the URL of your vSphere server
|
|
url: 'vsphere.example.com'
|
|
|
|
|
|
Profiles
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Cloud Profiles
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
vSphere uses a Managed Object Reference to identify objects located in vCenter.
|
|
The MOR ID's are used when configuring a vSphere cloud profile. Use the
|
|
following reference when locating the MOR's for the cloud profile.

|
|
|
|
Set up an initial profile at ``/etc/salt/cloud.profiles`` or in the
|
|
``/etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d`` directory:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
vsphere-centos:
|
|
provider: my-vsphere-config
|
|
image: centos
|
|

|
|
datastore: datastore-15
|
|
resourcepool: resgroup-8
|

|
|
host: host-9
|

Images available to build an instance can be found using the `--list-images`
|
|
option:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
# salt-cloud --list-images my-vsphere-config
|
|
|
|
datastore
|
|
---------
|
|
The MOR of the datastore where the virtual machine should be located. If not
|
|
specified, the current datastore is used.
|
|
|
|
resourcepool
|
|
------------
|
|
The MOR of the resourcepool to be used for the new vm. If not set, it will use
|
|
the same resourcepool as the original vm.
|
|
|
|
folder
|
|
------
|

Name of the folder that will contain the new VM. If not set, the VM will be
|
|
added to the folder the original VM belongs to.

|
host
|
|
----
|
|
The MOR of the host where the vm should be registered.
|
|
|
|
If not specified:
|
|
* if resourcepool is not specified, the current host is used.
|
|
* if resourcepool is specified, and the target pool represents a
|
|
stand-alone host, the host is used.
|
|
* if resourcepool is specified, and the target pool represents a
|
|
DRS-enabled cluster, a host selected by DRS is used.
|
|
* if resourcepool is specified, and the target pool represents a
|
|
cluster without DRS enabled, an InvalidArgument exception will be thrown.
|
|
|
|
template
