# vsphere\_virtual\_machine
Provides a VMware vSphere virtual machine resource. This can be used to create,
modify, and delete virtual machines.
## Example Usage
```
resource "vsphere_virtual_machine" "web" {
name = "terraform_web"
vcpu = 2
memory = 4096
network_interface {
label = "VM Network"
}
disk {
template = "centos-7"
}
}
```
## Example Usage VMware Cluster
```
resource "vsphere_virtual_machine" "lb" {
name = "lb01"
folder = "Loadbalancers"
vcpu = 2
memory = 4096
domain = "MYDOMAIN"
datacenter = "EAST"
cluster = "Production Cluster"
resource_pool = "Production Cluster/Resources/Production Servers"
gateway = "10.20.30.254"
network_interface {
label = "10_20_30_VMNet"
ipv4_address = "10.20.30.40"
ipv4_prefix_length = "24"
}
disk {
datastore = "EAST/VMFS01-EAST"
template = "Templates/Centos7"
}
}
```
## Argument Reference
The following arguments are supported:
* `name` - (Required) The virtual machine name
* `vcpu` - (Required) The number of virtual CPUs to allocate to the virtual machine
* `memory` - (Required) The amount of RAM (in MB) to allocate to the virtual machine
* `memory_reservation` - (Optional) The amount of RAM (in MB) to reserve physical memory resource; defaults to 0 (means not to reserve)
* `datacenter` - (Optional) The name of a Datacenter in which to launch the virtual machine
* `cluster` - (Optional) Name of a Cluster in which to launch the virtual machine
* `resource_pool` (Optional) The name of a Resource Pool in which to launch the virtual machine. Requires full path (see cluster example).
* `gateway` - __Deprecated, please use `network_interface.ipv4_gateway` instead__.
* `domain` - (Optional) A FQDN for the virtual machine; defaults to "vsphere.local"
* `time_zone` - (Optional) The [Linux](https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk41pubs/ApiReference/timezone.html) or [Windows](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms912391.aspx) time zone to set on the virtual machine. Defaults to "Etc/UTC"
* `dns_suffixes` - (Optional) List of name resolution suffixes for the virtual network adapter
* `dns_servers` - (Optional) List of DNS servers for the virtual network adapter; defaults to 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4
* `network_interface` - (Required) Configures virtual network interfaces; see [Network Interfaces](#network-interfaces) below for details.
* `disk` - (Required) Configures virtual disks; see [Disks](#disks) below for details
* `cdrom` - (Optional) Configures a CDROM device and mounts an image as its media; see [CDROM](#cdrom) below for more details.
* `windows_opt_config` - (Optional) Extra options for clones of Windows machines.
* `linked_clone` - (Optional) Specifies if the new machine is a [linked clone](https://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/ws_clone_overview.html#wp1036396) of another machine or not.
2015-11-11 23:50:18 +01:00
* `custom_configuration_parameters` - (Optional) Map of values that is set as virtual machine custom configurations.
2016-04-21 17:53:08 +02:00
* `skip_customization` - (Optional) skip virtual machine customization (useful if OS is not in the guest OS support matrix of VMware like "other3xLinux64Guest").
The `network_interface` block supports:
* `label` - (Required) Label to assign to this network interface
* `ipv4_address` - (Optional) Static IPv4 to assign to this network interface. Interface will use DHCP if this is left blank.
* `ipv4_prefix_length` - (Optional) prefix length to use when statically assigning an IPv4 address.
* `ipv4_gateway` - (Optional) IPv4 gateway IP address to use.
* `ipv6_address` - (Optional) Static IPv6 to assign to this network interface. Interface will use DHCPv6 if this is left blank.
* `ipv6_prefix_length` - (Optional) prefix length to use when statically assigning an IPv6.
* `ipv6_gateway` - (Optional) IPv6 gateway IP address to use.
The following arguments are maintained for backwards compatibility and may be
removed in a future version:
* `ip_address` - __Deprecated, please use `ipv4_address` instead__.
* `subnet_mask` - __Deprecated, please use `ipv4_prefix_length` instead__.
The `windows_opt_config` block supports:
* `product_key` - (Optional) Serial number for new installation of Windows. This serial number is ignored if the original guest operating system was installed using a volume-licensed CD.
* `admin_password` - (Optional) The password for the new `administrator` account. Omit for passwordless admin (using `""` does not work).
* `domain` - (Optional) Domain that the new machine will be placed into. If `domain`, `domain_user`, and `domain_user_password` are not all set, all three will be ignored.
* `domain_user` - (Optional) User that is a member of the specified domain.
* `domain_user_password` - (Optional) Password for domain user, in plain text.
<a id="disks"></a>
## Disks
The `disk` block supports:
* `template` - (Required if size and bootable_vmdk_path not provided) Template for this disk.
* `datastore` - (Optional) Datastore for this disk
* `size` - (Required if template and bootable_vmdks_path not provided) Size of this disk (in GB).
* `iops` - (Optional) Number of virtual iops to allocate for this disk.
* `type` - (Optional) 'eager_zeroed' (the default), or 'thin' are supported options.
* `vmdk` - (Required if template and size not provided) Path to a vmdk in a vSphere datastore.
* `bootable` - (Optional) Set to 'true' if a vmdk was given and it should attempt to boot after creation.
* `controller_type` = (Optional) Controller type to attach the disk to. 'scsi' (the default), or 'ide' are supported options.
