vcenter adapter

Inmanta module to manage Vcenter and Esxi

Features

• Handling connection to vCenter and ESXI using:

  • WS API (responsible for almost all operations)

  • REST API (responsible for tagging)

  For both kinds SSL is supported.

• Create, Read, Update, Delete of Distributed Virtual PortGroup

• Read, Update, Delete of Virtual Machine (in general)

• Create of Virtual Machine by cloning from template

• Create of Virtual Machine by deploying OVA file (downloaded from webserver and uploaded to vCenter)

• Create, Read, Update, Delete of Virtual Disk (supported managers: SCSI, IDE) with attachment to Virtual Machine

• Create, Read, Update, Delete of Virtual Machine Port with attachment to Virtual Machine and IP address configuration

Usage example

This simple example shows how to deploy a virtual machine from an existing template on vcenter.

    
import vcenter

vc = vcenter::VCenter(
    name="My Vcenter",
    host="vcenter.example.com",
    port=443,
    credentials=vcenter::Credentials(
        username_env_variable="VCENTER_USER",
        password_env_variable="VCENTER_PASSWORD"
    ),
)
    
dc = vcenter::DataCenter(
    parent=vc.root,
    name="mydc"
)

vm = vcenter::VirtualMachineFromTemplate(
    parent=dc.vm,
    name="test_virtual_machine",
    template_path="/mydc/vm/CentOS7Template",
    datastore_path="/mydc/datastore/DatastoreCluster/datastore1",
    resource_pool_path="/mydc/host/lab/Resources",
    memory_mb=2048,
    cpu_num=2,
    cpu_num_per_socket=2,
    power_on=true,
    guest_os = vcenter::LinuxGuestOS(
        hostname="localhost",
        domain="domain.local"
    ),
    children = [
        vcenter::VirtualMachinePort(
            name="eth0",
            ip_address="192.168.1.2",
            network_mask="255.255.255.0",
            gateway="192.168.1.1",
            distributed_virtual_portgroup_path="/mydc/network/test_network",
        )
    ]
)
