- In order to keep the integration with `ansible-test`, we prefer to avoid any
interaction with the Ansible inventory file.
- split up the prepare_vmware_tests/defaults/main.yml in two
configuration files: one for vcsim and one for a real environment
- remove all the access to hostvars
- directly interact with the ESXi to mount/umount the datastore
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/56516
- record the virtual machine folder in the environment configuration
- vmware_guest_move: Use https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/55237
Refactoring of the following roles to make use of the new
`prepare_vmware_tests` role.
- `vmware_resource_pool`
- `vmware_resource_pool_facts`
- `vmware_target_canonical_facts`
- `vmware_vcenter_settings`
- `vmware_vcenter_statistics`
- `vmware_vm_facts`
- `vmware_vm_host_drs_rule`
- `vmware_vm_vm_drs_rule`
- `vmware_vmkernel`
- `vmware_vmkernel_facts`
- `vmware_vspan_session`
- `vmware_vswitch`
- `vmware_vswitch_facts`
This patch depends on: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/55719
Original PR: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/54882
Fix adds esxi_hostname as Ansible module argument for user
to define ESXi hostname to deploy VMware vSwitch.
Fixes: #24647
Signed-off-by: Abhijeet Kasurde <akasurde@redhat.com>
So the module was now not doing anything except adding a nic to a
vswitch. This PR adds idempotency checks, and removal checks.
We should probably add modification chacks as well, but I don't know
what the limitations are for vcsim.
