Beyond the platform-agnostic install-config.yaml
properties, the installer supports additional, vSphere-specific properties.
vCenter
(required string): The domain name or IP address of the vCenter.username
(required string): The username to use to connect to the vCenter.password
(required string): The password to use to connect to the vCenter.datacenter
(required string): The name of the datacenter to use in the vCenter.defaultDatastore
(required string): The default datastore to use for provisioning volumes.folder
(optional string): The absolute path of an existing folder where the installer should create VMs. The absolute path is of the form/example_datacenter/vm/example_folder/example_subfolder
. If a value is specified, the folder must exist. If no value is specified, a folder named with the cluster ID will be created in thedatacenter
VM folder.
osDisk
(optional object):diskSizeGB
(optional integer): The size of the disk in gigabytes (GB).
cpus
(optional integer): The total number of virtual processor cores to assign a vm.coresPerSocket
(optional integer): The number of cores per socket in a vm. The number of vCPUs on the vm will be cpus/coresPerSocket (default is 1).memoryMB
(optional integer): The size of a VM's memory in megabytes.
Some example install-config.yaml
are shown below.
