使用Ansible获取VMware虚拟机的UUID

Question

我们正在研究Ansible Environemt。我们希望使用其UUUID连接到新部署的VM。

如何使用Ansible获取VMware虚拟机的UUID，以便建立连接。

Answer 1

你有没有查看这个链接：The UUID Location and Format

它可以通过标准的

扫描软件进行访问-例如或 ...

Answer 2

您必须首先使用vmware_guest_facts模块，并检索UUID。但是，有两个被标识为uuid，所以我列出了这两个。我假设您想要的uuid是instance_uuid。

tasks:
- name: get list of facts
  vmware_guest_facts:
    hostname: '{{ vc_name }}'
    username: '{{ vc_user }}'
    password: '{{ vc_pwd }}'
    datacenter: "{{ dc_name }}"
    name: "{{ vm_name }}"
    folder: "{{ dc_folder }}"
    validate_certs: False
  register: vm_facts

- set_fact:
    vm_uuid: "{{ vm_facts.instance.instance_uuid }}"

  - debug:
      msg: "product uuid hw : {{ vm_facts.instance.hw_product_uuid }}\n instance: {{ vm_facts.instance.instance_uuid }}"

现在继续您的脚本，在您需要VM的uuid的地方使用{{ vm_uuid }}。

Ansible模块vmware_guest_facts已被弃用。这将不会在Ansible 2.9中运行。您需要改用vmware_guest_info模块。

- name: Getting VMWARE UUID
  hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: false
  connection: local
  tasks:
  - name: Get Virtual Machine info
    vmware_guest_info:
      validate_certs: no
      hostname: "{{ vcenter_hostname }}"
      username: "{{ Password }}"
      password:  "{{ pass }}"
      validate_certs: no
      datacenter: "{{ datacenter_name }}"
      name: "{{ VM_Name }}"
      schema: "vsphere"
      properties:
    delegate_to: localhost
    register: vminfo
   - debug:
       var: vminfo.instance.config.uuid

上面的代码假设您知道VM所在的数据中心。如果不确定这一点，您也可以运行following code

- name: Get UUID from given VM Name
  block:
    - name: Get virtual machine info
      vmware_vm_info:
        hostname: '{{ vcenter_hostname }}'
        username: '{{ vcenter_username }}'
        password: '{{ vcenter_password }}'
        folder: "/datacenter/vm/folder"
      delegate_to: localhost
      register: vm_info

    - debug:
        msg: "{{ item.uuid }}"
      with_items:
        - "{{ vm_info.virtual_machines | json_query(query) }}"
      vars:
        query: "[?guest_name=='DC0_H0_VM0']"
