Since the custom_configuration_parameters can't take dots, we cannot
set 'disk.EnableUUID'. This adds a parameter for this options that gets
added to a configSpec. This option causes the vm to mount disks by uuid
on the guest OS.
* Adding debug functionality to log debug api calls
* adding debug and refactoring tests
* more tweaks with tests
* updating documentation
* more refactoring of tests
* working through factor for testing
* removing logging that displays username and password
* more work on getting tests stable
Changed schema type for disks to support dynamic non-ordered disk
swapping. All Disk attributes have been made non ForceNew since
any changes should be handled in the upgrade() function.
Added 'name' attribute to disks to act as a unique
identifier for when users request for new disks. It is also used as
the filename for the new disk. Templates are considered immutable.
IPv6 support added.
We support 1 IPv6 address per interface. It seems like the vSphere SDK supports more than one, since it's provided as a list.
I can change it to support more than one address. I decided to stick with one for now since that's how the configuration parameters
had been set up by other developers.
The global gateway configuration option has been removed. Instead the user should specify a gateway on NIC level (ipv4_gateway and ipv6_gateway).
For now, the global gateway will be used as a fallback for every NICs ipv4_gateway.
The global gateway configuration option has been marked as deprecated.
* added update function with support for vcpu and memory
* waiting for vmware tools redundant with WaitForIP
* proper error handling of PowerOn task
* added test cases for update memory and vcpu
* reboot flag
* Adding File Resource for vSphere provider
Allows for file upload to vSphere at specified location. This also
includes update for moving or renaming of file resources.
* Ensuring required parameters are provided
We were passing in a disk path of `[datastore] `, which the createDisk
call would create a file named `.vmdk` on the datastore, which is not
the expected behavior. This make sure that if the user did not pass in
a vmdk path, that we call CreateDisk with an empty string like it
expects.
User may specify a vmdk in their disk definition.
The options size, template, and vmdk are considered
to be mutually exclusive. User may also set whether each disk
associated with the vm should try to boot after creation.
Todo: Enforce mutual exclusivity, validate the bootable_vmdk_path
It can come in handy to be able to mount ISOs programmatically.
For instance if you're developing a custom appliance (that automatically installs itself on the hard drive volume)
that you want to automatically test on every successful build (given the ISO is uploaded to the vmware datastore).
There are probably lots of other reasons for using this functionality.
