salt.states.esxcluster

pyVmomi

PyVmomi can be installed via pip:

pip install pyVmomi

Based on the note above, to install an earlier version of pyVmomi than the version currently listed in PyPi, run the following:

pip install pyVmomi==5.5.0.2014.1.1

The 5.5.0.2014.1.1 is a known stable version that this original ESXi State Module was developed against.

salt.states.esxcluster.cluster_configured(name, cluster_config)

Configures a cluster. Creates a new cluster, if it doesn't exist on the vCenter or reconfigures it if configured differently

Supported proxies: esxdatacenter, esxcluster

name

Name of the state. If the state is run in by an esxdatacenter proxy, it will be the name of the cluster.

cluster_config

Configuration applied to the cluster. Complex datastructure following the ESXClusterConfigSchema. Valid example is:

drs:
    default_vm_behavior: fullyAutomated
    enabled: true
    vmotion_rate: 3
ha:
    admission_control
    _enabled: false
    default_vm_settings:
        isolation_response: powerOff
        restart_priority: medium
    enabled: true
    hb_ds_candidate_policy: userSelectedDs
    host_monitoring: enabled
    options:
        - key: das.ignoreinsufficienthbdatastore
          value: 'true'
    vm_monitoring: vmMonitoringDisabled
vm_swap_placement: vmDirectory
vsan:
    auto_claim_storage: false
    compression_enabled: true
    dedup_enabled: true
    enabled: true

salt.states.esxcluster.licenses_configured(name, licenses=None)

Configures licenses on the cluster entity

Checks if each license exists on the server:

• if it doesn't, it creates it

Check if license is assigned to the cluster:

• if it's not assigned to the cluster:

  • assign it to the cluster if there is space

  • error if there's no space

• if it's assigned to the cluster nothing needs to be done

salt.states.esxcluster.vsan_datastore_configured(name, datastore_name)

Configures the cluster's VSAN datastore

WARNING: The VSAN datastore is created automatically after the first ESXi host is added to the cluster; the state assumes that the datastore exists and errors if it doesn't.
