vsphere_vmfs_disks

The vsphere_vmfs_disks data source can be used to discover the storage devices available on an ESXi host. This data source can be combined with the vsphere_vmfs_datastore resource to create VMFS datastores based off a set of discovered disks.

Example Usage

data "vsphere_datacenter" "datacenter" {
  name = "dc1"
}

data "vsphere_host" "host" {
  name          = "esxi1"
  datacenter_id = "${data.vsphere_datacenter.datacenter.id}"
}

data "vsphere_vmfs_disks" "available" {
  host_system_id = "${data.vsphere_host.host.id}"
  rescan         = true
  filter         = "mpx.vmhba1:C0:T[12]:L0"
}

Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

  • host_system_id - (Required) The managed object ID of the host to look for disks on.

  • rescan - (Optional) Whether or not to rescan storage adapters before searching for disks. This may lengthen the time it takes to perform the search. Default: false.

  • filter - (Optional) A regular expression to filter the disks against. Only disks with canonical names that match will be included.

Attribute Reference

  • disks - A lexicographically sorted list of devices discovered by the operation, matching the supplied filter, if provided.
