The manageiq-vmdb role allows for users of ManageIQ to modify and/or change VMDB objects via an Ansible Playbook.
The role includes a module manageiq_vmdb which does all the heavy lifting needed to modify or change objects in the database.
ManageIQ has to be Gaprindashvili (G Release) or higher.
The example playbook makes use of the manageiq_vmdb module which is also included as part of this role.
If you have a requirement to include this Role in Ansible Tower or Embedded Ansible, simply add an empty roles
directory at the root of your playbook and include a requirements.yml file with the following contents inside
that directory:
---
- src: syncrou.manageiq-vmdb
Validate Certs:
manageiq_validate_certs defaults to True.
If set to False in the manageiq_connection dictionary
then the lookup will allow self signed certificates
to be used when using SSL REST API connection urls.
ManageIQ:
manageiq_connection is a dictionary with connection default keys.
Use of this connection information is ONLY needed if the role is used outside of a ManageIQ
appliance. A ManageIQ appliance passes in manageiq_connection via extra_vars so connection
information is included automatically.
Remember to use Ansible Vault for passwords.
manageiq_connection:
url: 'http://localhost:3000'
username: 'admin'
password: 'password'
manageiq_validate_certs: false
None
An example which provisions a VM to EC2. The playbook
links that vm to a service in the ManageIQ VMDB using the
manageiq_vmdb module.
The example shows two ways to pass
the VMDB object to the module, either via an href slug or
via a variable.
