vmware_vm_vm_drs_rule – Configure VMware DRS Affinity rule for virtual machine in given cluster
New in version 2.5.
Synopsis
- This module can be used to configure VMware DRS Affinity rule for virtual machine in given cluster.
Requirements
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
- python >= 2.6
- PyVmomi
Parameters
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| affinity_rule boolean |
| If set to True, the DRS rule will be an Affinity rule.If set to False, the DRS rule will be an Anti-Affinity rule.Effective only if state is set to present. |
| cluster_name - / required | Desired cluster name where virtual machines are present for the DRS rule. | |
| drs_rule_name - / required | The name of the DRS rule to manage. | |
| enabled boolean |
| If set to True, the DRS rule will be enabled.Effective only if state is set to present. |
| hostname string | The hostname or IP address of the vSphere vCenter or ESXi server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable VMWARE_HOST will be used instead.Environment variable support added in version 2.6. | |
| mandatory boolean |
| If set to True, the DRS rule will be mandatory.Effective only if state is set to present. |
| password string | The password of the vSphere vCenter or ESXi server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable VMWARE_PASSWORD will be used instead.Environment variable support added in version 2.6. aliases: pass, pwd | |
| port integer added in 2.5 | Default: 443 | The port number of the vSphere vCenter or ESXi server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable VMWARE_PORT will be used instead.Environment variable support added in version 2.6. |
| state - |
| If set to present, then the DRS rule is created if not present.If set to present, then the DRS rule is deleted and created if present already.If set to absent, then the DRS rule is deleted if present. |
| username string | The username of the vSphere vCenter or ESXi server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable VMWARE_USER will be used instead.Environment variable support added in version 2.6. aliases: admin, user | |
| validate_certs boolean |
| Allows connection when SSL certificates are not valid.

If set to yes, please make sure Python >= 2.7.9 is installed on the given machine. |
| vms - | List of virtual machines name for which DRS rule needs to be applied. Required if state is set to present. |
