Setup vcloud director

[Vichu]

Hello there, 

Has anyone configured vcloud director using ansible api module? The requirements are here,

1. Deploy vcloud OVA - Done

2. Setup a NFS transfer storage and db password using URL http://<vcloud Director>:5480/setup -- How do we achieve this with Ansible module(s)? 

Anybody has any idea ? 

[Dick Visser]

How would you do this without ansible?

Hi, Vichu,

You can automate vcloud director using these official VMware Ansible modules  - https://github.com/vmware/ansible-module-vcloud-director

I personally never tried it.

I’ve got playbooks for setting up vcloud director orgs, vdc’s, nsx-v edge gateways, networks, firewall / nat rules and vapps,
but nothing for setting up vcd I’m afraid.

Thought to do with curl command. In fact I have figured out a way with curll.

curl is OK (you can use `uri` module) but modules provide idempotency and other features. You don't want to reinvent the wheel.
