- add_esxi_host_to_vcenter - Added new playbook to add an ESXi host to a vCenter
- cluster_settings - Added new playbook to modify cluster settings
- cluster_settings - Added new role for managing different cluster settings including DRM, DRS, vCLS, HA, and vSAN. Added integration tests for role
- disable_high_availability - Added playbook to disable high availbility in a vcenter cluster
- disable_maintenance_mode - Added new playbook to disable maintenance mode on an ESXi host
- enable_high_availability - Added playbook to enable and configure high availbility in a vcenter cluster
- enable_maintenance_mode - Added new playbook to enable maintenance mode on an ESXi host
- esxi_maintenance_mode - Added new role for setting an ESXi host's maintenance mode status. Added integration tests for role
- info - Fix creation of temporary files
- info - Fix the incorrect documentation
- manage_all_settings - Renamed and moved
cluster_settings.ymlplaybook tocluster_settings\manage_all_settings.yml. New location is with other cluster settings related plays - provision_vcenter - Only use hdiutil to mount ISO on mac instead of hdiutil + mount. The new approach provides more consistent results when reading the ISO content as a file system
- provision_vcenter - Use OS specific binary when deploying the VCSA appliance (mac vs generic linux) instead of always using linux
- provision_vcenter - When running the playbook on MacOS, the iso9660 file system is not supported. Instead, Macs need to mount the ISO as a block device and then mount it as cd9660. Added new tasks to perform these actions when the os family is darwin
- provision_virtual_esxi - Added new role for provisioning a VM and installing ESXi on it. Added integration tests for role
- reconnect_esxi_host_in_vcenter - Added new playbook to reconnect an ESXi host in a vCenter
- remove_esxi_host_from_vcenter - Added new playbook to remove an ESXi host from a vCenter
- snapshot_management - Add a new role and playbooks to manages virtual machines snapshots in vCenter. (redhat-cop#24)
- vcenter_host_connection - Added role to manage the connection status of an ESXI host to a vcenter. Included integration tests for the role
- esxi_maintenance_mode - Fixed typo in the vmware_maintenancemode module's evacuate` attribute
- provision_vcenter - Added dedicated complexity check for VM password at beginning of role. Complexity requirements are normally validated by the VCSA installer but the error thrown can be confusing. Update integration test to use proper password
- provision_vcenter - Changed default ISO mount point from /mnt to /tmp, since /tmp is more likely to be writable
- provision_vcenter - Install libnsl if running on rhel flavored OS, since it is not included in OS version 8+ but needed for the vmware ovftool
- provision_vcenter - Remove leading slashes when a user provides a datacenter/target host path to the installer. These values are supposed to be vcenter folder paths (e.g. /cluster01/host01) but a leading slash would break the VCSA installer config
- provision_vcenter - missing parameters in the validate_inputs tasks. Added them so the user will be alerted sooner if required parameters are missing
- provision_vcenter - the vcsa deploy config was invalid json if dhcp was used. Re-ordered the network section of the config template to fix
- provision_vcenter - vcenter vm names containing a string marked for no_log no longer trigger an unexpected error when checking if the vm already exists
- provision_virtual_esxi - Added missing variable documentation
- provision_virtual_esxi - Role had redundant variable provision_virtual_esxi_iso_path that was left from a name refactor. It was updated to match the new name. The new variable name provision_virtual_esxi_datastore_iso_path is already mandatory
