Select resource pool for vmware

Adrian_Ghidu · October 17, 2015, 1:31pm

We are provisioning vms on vmware. We now would like to be able to create
the vms under certain resource pools to have some control over the
resources allocated to all the vms. I couldn't find any option in the
compute resources nor compute profile in foeman gui nor any key that may be
supported by the foreman rest api.

There is an open pull request solving that [1]
Would love if you could test

Thanks Shlomi. Will this change allow selecting the resource pool using
REST POST (host create)?

Supposed to if resource_pool is passed as an argument in vm_attrs [1]

shlomizadok/foreman/blob/fix_10889/app/models/compute_resources/foreman/model/vmware.rb#L368


  opts = {
    "datacenter" => datacenter,
    "template_path" => args[:image_id],
    "dest_folder" => args[:path].gsub(path_replace, ''),
    "power_on" => false,
    "start" => args[:start],
    "name" => args[:name],
    "numCPUs" => args[:cpus],
    "memoryMB" => args[:memory_mb],
    "datastore" => args[:volumes].first[:datastore],
    "resource_pool" => [args[:cluster], args[:resource_pool]],
  }


  vm_model = new_vm(raw_args)
  opts['interfaces'] = vm_model.interfaces
  opts['volumes'] = vm_model.volumes
  opts["customization_spec"] = client.cloudinit_to_customspec(args[:user_data]) if args[:user_data]
  client.servers.get(client.vm_clone(opts)['new_vm']['id'])

Hi Shlomi,
I would like to test this code, but to tell you the truth I haven't been
involved so far in the installation/upgrade of foreman. Do you recommend to
just make the changes directly to foreman code?
Thanks
