Hammer and VMware Resource Pools

discr33t · June 28, 2016, 8:34pm

I haven't been able to find any information on the subject but can you pass
vmware resource pools to hammer for building hosts? Actually can you pass
the memory and cpu hot add as well for that matter?

Yeah, you can pass these as compute_attributes:

theforeman/hammer-cli-foreman/blob/master/doc/host_create.md#example

Host Creation
=============

Host creation is one of the most complex commands in the hammer's foreman plugin. The majority of its parameters
is obvious but there are some that need further explanation as their values differ with the type of a compute resource.

**Warning:**
Output of `hammer host create -h` may vary with the Foreman server used and plugins installed.

Sample help output for `hammer-cli-foreman 0.2.0` and `Foreman 1.8` follows:

```
$ hammer host create -h
Usage:
    hammer host create [OPTIONS]

Options:
 --architecture ARCHITECTURE_NAME          Architecture name
 --architecture-id ARCHITECTURE_ID
 --ask-root-password ASK_ROOT_PW           One of true/false, yes/no, 1/0.

i didn't see those settings in the docs. is it just:

–compute-attributes='resourcepool=foo,memory_hotadd=true,cpu_hotadd=true'

or something similar?

I also cannot find any usage about vmware resourcepool. And when I try to
create vm by using CLI, the error showed:
Could not create the host:
Failed to create a compute VCenter-H12-100 (VMware) instance
johnny-host1.johnny.local: failed to create vm: undefined method
`resourcePool' for nil:NilClass

Actually, I didn't use this key "resourcePool".

foreman version: 1.12.1
