Collection of Ansible roles to be used with a Nutanix AHV hypervisor :
- vm_create : creates a VM from a template.
- vm_snapshot : takes a snapshot of a VM
- vm_add_disks : adds disk(s) to an existing VM
- vm_snapshots_remove : removes all snapshots of a VM
- vm_update : updates specs of a VM
- vm_delete: deletes a VM
- image_upload : uploads an image.
All these roles use the Nutanix REST API (version 3 for VM creation/deletion and image upload, version 2 for the others).
They require :
- a Prisme Element or Prisme Central instance
- access to the
TCP 9440port of your Prism Element / Prism Central - proper credentials.
REST API explorers are available for versions 2 and 3 :
- https://<prism_fqdn_or_ip>/api/nutanix/v2/api_explorer/index.html
- https://<prism_fqdn_or_ip>/api/nutanix/v3/api_explorer/
If you convert existing VM templates built on a VMWare hypervisor, make sure they include virtio drivers (and cloud-init, for OS customization).
