Ansible VMware - create datastore

[Mike Smart]

Hello ,

my ESXi (Dell T350) has two virtual drives.

1.st is 2*SDD  raid 1 for the Hypervisor 7.03 = datastore1 which is automatically created by installing the Hypervisor via kickstart.

Now my question is about the best practice on how to create the datastore2 (some TB raid5) for my VM's later on.

Would it be possible within Ansible to create datastore2 on the second available virtual disk?

Or is there another best practice to do so?

Is this something you will do often and that needs to be consistent? Ansible isn't always the right solution. This specific task may be best performed from within the vCenter or on the esxi command line since I imagine it is something you will do once.

Hi Walter,

yes, would do it more than a several hundred times over next years.
Actually at this moment we do it via vCenter, but would be nicer and less typo via ansible
