i am trying to deploy a VM via Ansible on an ESXi Host. They both know each other (i copied the SSH ID File, so we do not need to enter a password). so, i used the following role in ansible:
- vsphere_guest:
vcenter_hostname: emea-esx-s18t.mydomain.net
username: myuser
password: mypassword
guest: newvm001
state: powered_off
vm_extra_config:
vcpu.hotadd: yes
mem.hotadd: yes
notes: This is a test VM
vm_disk:
disk1:
size_gb: 10
type: thin
datastore: storage001
vm_nic:
nic1:
type: vmxnet3
network: VM Network
network_type: standard
vm_hardware:
memory_mb: 4096
num_cpus: 4
osid: windows7Server64Guest
scsi: paravirtual
esxi:
datacenter: MyDatacenter
hostname: esx-s18t.mydomain.net
So while u use this role, i get the following output:
root@ansible1:~/ansible# ansible-playbook -i Inventory vmware_deploy.yml
PLAY ***************************************************************************
TASK [setup] *******************************************************************
ok: [172.20.22.5]
PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************
172.20.22.5 : ok=1 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0
This is the vmware_deploy.yml file:
---
- hosts: vmware
remote_user: root
roles:
- vmware
The ESXi host is the 172.20.22.5 !
But when i take a look on the ESXi Host, nothing happend.. i dont know why? he said its okay but nothing changed or happend here? Do you guys maybe know whats wrong here?
PS: I needed to make the domain, password, user and stuff looking different in this example thats why there is listed "myuser", "my...",...
