* add support to vmware_guest for template => vm conversion
While the vmware_guest currently supports conversion of VMs to templates
using the is_template argument, it does not support the inverse:
converting templates back into VMs. This change adds that
functionality.
When converting a template back into a VM, the extra config option
"uuid.action" is also set so that VMware will automatically create a new
UUID for the converted VM. If the "uuid.action" setting is already
configured, it will not be modified. Setting this prevents an
interactive question from being raised when attempting to boot the VM.
* Add integration tests for vmware_guest is_template
* Add additional idempotency test for vmware_guest is_template
* Initial CD-ROM support
* create cdrom bugfix
* Improving CDROM change detection and fixing template creation bug
Running MarkAsTemplate on an existing template will fail with an error
* Better change detection for guest ID
Should only mark a change in case it actually changes
* Adding integration tests
* Pep8 compliance fixes
* Adding CDROM support, including iso, client and none types
* Updating added release version for CDROM option
Fix adds a new module 'vmware_guest_powerstate' to manage
power states of virtual machine.

* Re-introduce relative paths to vmware_guest folder:
Move compile_folder_path_for_object function from vmware_guest_find to
utilities
Allow full path or relative path to be specified for the folder
parameter. We will build the full path to the new VM.
* Remove duplicate check
* PEP8 Fixes
* vmware_guest: fixes for cache objects and datacenter association
* find_all_objs was only looking for datastores
* Clear the result if it's datacenter is not correct.
* Re-enable pyvmomi installation
Addresses #25011
Addresses #26511
* Slight refactor on vmware_guest to fix path searching and vcsim compatibility.
* Clean up pep8 errors
* Fix more pep8 issues
* Add assertions
* Remove debug failure
* Update docsting for folder with examples
* Revise _get_vm_prop based on suggestions
* Implement folder walker to find a folder path
* More enhancements for datacenter->datacenter cloning
* Fix a few pep8 issues
* Remove useless check for subclass of None
* Fix a few suggestions
* Move serialize_spec to a util function
* Group exceptions together
Fixes#25011
* Various fixes to VM customizations (from template)
This patch implements:
- New find_obj() function from vmware.py replacing get_obj()
- Implement proper resource_pool selection
- Fix productId implementation (was not working)
- Ensure that we are not changing anything that is not mandatory (hostName, orgName, fullName)
This is an alternative proposal to #24283
This does not fix#19860 yet though.
For our use-case, we do not want to customize the network information (or any information in fact).
What is used in the template should remain intact.
* Added find_obj() function
* Fix the returned object-list (unused yet)
* Small improvement
* Support DHCP type and fix customizations
* Small fix
* Support resource_pool also for reconfiguring VM
* Remove redundant
* Fix short hostname, specific resource_pool, PEP8
* Improve docs and examples
* Fix missing hostsystem
* Make folder absolute path
* Improve docs, add missing 'mac'
* vmware_guest: Add support for Linked Clones
* Resolve PEP8 Issues
* Change snapshot_name to snapshot_src
* Add additional option 'snapshot_linked' to specify whether to use a linked clone or not
* Changed snapshot_linked parameter to "linked_clone"
* Remove unnecessary conditional
Fixes issue [#24078](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/24078)
Resource pools are retrieved from VSphere regardless of the state of the `resource_pool` parameter. During this process, each retrieved Resource Pool is checked for the `parent` attribute, and if it exists, the currently-scoped parent object is compared against the Resource Pool's parent object. The method doing the check, however, `assert`s that the parent object is not `None`. In some cases, a Resource Pool will have the `parent` attr, but that `parent` object will be `None`, causing the `assert` to fail.
This should avoid that. :-)
Due to how the result-dictionary is being used, in some codepaths it would have an empty dictionary.
This then is problematic if the code expects the 'changed' key later on.
I also improved the docs a bit, by clearly marking the parameter names and URL in the documentation.
Changes to the metadata format were approved here:
https://github.com/ansible/proposals/issues/54
* Update documentation to the new metadata format
* Changes to metadata-tool to account for new metadata
* Add GPL license header
* Add upgrade subcommand to upgrade metadata version
* Change default metadata to the new format
* Fix exclusion of non-modules from the metadata report
* Fix ansible-doc for new module metadata
* Exclude metadata version from ansible-doc output
* Fix website docs generation for the new metadata
* Update metadata schema in valiate-modules test
* Update the metadata in all modules to the new version
* Move gather_facts action outside of vmware_guest module
* Move facts gathering method to vmware.py library
* vmware_guest use some vmware.py library methods
* vmware.py lib: fix some PEP 8 issues
* Move snapshot actions to vmware_guest_snapshot
* Move common snapshot facts to vmware.py library
After merging the latest update, these were the few remaining
differences with upstream.
(Plus the previous proposed fast match based on unique VM name which is
not longer needed)
* vmware_guest: networks definition as a list
Currently the networks definition is a dict, with the network range as
key. This is problematic if the network information is coming from other
sources.
This patch turns the networks definition into a list.
This fixes#19222.
* Remove the option to provide either netmask or network
It is more concise if there's only one way to configure it.
So provide both `ip` and `network`.
(I also re-indented a section due to a useless check)
* Fix bugs reported by @dav1x
Thanks !
Changes missing from a poor merge probably, but also a few new things.
- Reordered the examples from important (often used) to less important
(fewer used)
- Remove the new_name: option and replace it with the uuid/name
combination for renaming + added example
- Added an example using the VM uuid instead of the VM name
- Also check whether the password is non-empty (rogue merge)
- Wait for all tasks to finish (to be sure the new facts reflect the
state)
- Ensure that on failure we still set the change-bit
- Moved a set of functions that are unused (related to transfering
files to guest, or running commands) to module_utils
* Idempotency fix on annotations permitting to change them on reconfiguration
* Permit to set VMware customvalues attributes on VM
* Gather annotation & customvalues and report it into module facts
* vmware_guest: various changes and fixes
Most of my queued changes were already implemented by @aperigault !
This was still open
- Typos
- Various fixes to dict.get() without quotes
- Defaults to fullname and orgname (so they are no longer mandatory)
- Add missing timezone implementation
- Remove the customize flag from the options
- Rename 'customizations' to 'customization' (cfr VMware docs and fora)
* Important fixes for idempotency and customization
- A password is mandatory for customization to work on Windows !
- An important fix for idempotency related to guestId
- Support all types of Windows guestId entries
* Suggestion by @aperigault
* Small documentation fixes
