Some teardown tasks are now enabled only if we have ESXi in the configuration
file. On my system and in a vcenter only scenario, `vcenter_folder` goes from
42.7 to 31.2s.
Add the `vmware/scenario/vcenter_only` alias to be able to identify the
vmware test roles that can be tested with just on vcenter instance.
Also, add a check to be sure we don't try to attach ESXi hosts if none
has been defined.
In the VMware tests, we call the datastores `ds1` and `ds2`. The first
one is read-only, the second is read-write and can be used to deploy
VMs. The naming convention was not clear enough and source of a lot
confusion and mistake.
We now have two better names:
- ro_datastore, which is ... read-only
- rw_datastore, the one that we can use to deploy new VM.
Since https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/56733, we were not able to apply
firewall rules with no `allowed_hosts` key.
closes: #61332
In addition, this patch ensures the `allowed_hosts` key accepts a dict,
instead of a dict in a single entry list.
```yaml
vmware_host_firewall_manager:
esxi_hostname: "{{ esxi1 }}"
rules:
- name: NFC
enabled: True
allowed_hosts:
- all_ip: False
ip_address:
- "1.2.3.4"
```
Should be written:
```yaml
vmware_host_firewall_manager:
esxi_hostname: "{{ esxi1 }}"
rules:
- name: NFC
enabled: True
allowed_hosts:
all_ip: False
ip_address:
- "1.2.3.4"
```
Refactor vmware_cluster into several modules (vmware_cluster, vmware_cluster_drs, vmware_cluster_ha and vmware_cluster_vsan) as discussed in #58023.
vmware_cluster lacks a lot of configuration options for DRS, HA and vSAN. Implementing them
all in vmware_cluster would make the module hard to maintain. Therefore, splitting it into several
modules and implementing the missing configuration options in them seems a good idea to me.
This is step one, refactoring vmware_cluster into several modules. Step two, implementing more
configuration options for DRS, HA and vSAN, will follow.
- Use predictable VM name during the tests (test_vm1, test_vm2 and
test_vm2). This to simplify the teardown of the newly created resource
before the next test.
- Update the documentation to explain the new requirement
- Avoid VM creation with `with_items` when it's not mandatory. This to:
- speed up the test execution, our hypervisors have limited resources
- simplify the teardown
- Remove `create_d1_c1_f0_env.yml`, the test was just testing how Ansible
pass environment variables.
- Correct the name for the `f0` variable (`f1`)
- Fix the DVS tests, the hosts can now reach the dvswitch1 vswitch
- Provision the VM with a poweroff status, this to improve the
idempotency and sleep up the tests
- Avoid the use of `prepare_vmware_tests` to prepare virtual machines
when we just need one machine
`vmware_content_library_info` functional test is currently broken because it
assumes the vCenter content library is not empty.
With this commit, the test inits the vCenter content library database using
`prepapre_vmware_tests`, this before the functional test execution.
Add a new file to record the variables that are shared with the two
scenarios (real_lab and vcsim).
The goal is to reduce the the amount of boilerplate configuration from
a user perspective.
- 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
The use of the `hostvars[esxi1].ansible_host` was attempt to use
different hostname and IP address. But it's actually the source of
more problems.
VMware expects to be able to resolvable the host name. This means, that
if someone wants to run the test-suite, s/he needs to use a DNS or
update the `/etc/hosts` files on the different hosts.
Refactoring of the following roles to make use of the new
`prepare_vmware_tests` role.
- `vmware_drs_group`
- `vmware_drs_group_facts`
- `vmware_drs_rule_facts`
- `vmware_drs_portgroup`
- `vmware_drs_portgroup_facts`
- `vmware_dvs_portgroup_facts`
- `vmware_dvswitch`
- `vmware_dvswitch_pvlans`
This patch depends on: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/55719

The vmware test roles do a lot of similar operation to prepare
the environment. This role will be used to reduce the amount of
duplicated code.
The role can prepare an environment on a baremetal environment, this
in addition to vcsim.
