Vsphere 8 Update 2 Download 'LINK'
Yasmine Cafasso
Our VMware/vsphere has a summary page with the VM hosts' name, CPU/RAM information, along with some custom fields we've included that show who the primary, secondary and tertiary admin is on the machine.
what I want is for the vsphere info to be displayed dynamically in confluence. Whenever we change or someone from the team leaves...we update that in vmware, and that content is dynamically changed on the page in confluence that houses that info as well. That way we dont have two sources that need to be changed everytime someone leaves.
does any one have any ideas?
This cloud-config configmap file, passed to the CPI on initialization, contains details about the vSphere configuration. This file, which here we have called vsphere.conf has been populated with some sample values. Obviously, you will need to modify this file to reflect your own vSphere configuration.
In the example vsphere.conf above, there are two configured Kubernetes secret. The vCenter at 10.0.0.1 contains credentials in the secret named cpi-engineering-secret in the namespace kube-system and the vCenter at 1.1.1.1 and 192.168.0.1 contains credentials in the secret named cpi-global-secret in the namespace kube-system defined in the global: section.
If you have multiple vCenters as in the example vsphere.conf above, your Kubernetes Secret YAML could look like the following to storage the vCenter credentials for vCenters at 1.1.1.1 and 192.168.0.1:
Verify vsphere-cloud-controller-manager is running and all other system pods are up and running (note that the coredns pods were not running previously - they should be running now as the taints have been removed by installing the CPI):
Note: If you happen to make an error with the vsphere.conf, simply delete the CPI components and the configMap, make any necessary edits to the configMap vSphere.conf file, and reapply the steps above.
As a Kubernetes user, define and deploy the storage class that references previously created VM storage policy. We will use kubectl to perform the following steps. Generally, you provide the information to kubectl in a YAML file. kubectl converts the information to JSON when making the API request. We will now create a StorageClass YAML file that describes storage requirements for the container and references the VM storage policy to be used. The csi.vsphere.vmware.com is the name of the vSphere CSI provisioner, and is what is placed in the provisioner field in the StorageClass yaml. The following sample YAML file includes the Space-Efficient storage policy that you created earlier using the vSphere Client. The resulting persistent volume VMDK is placed on a compatible datastore with the maximum free space that satisfies the Space-Efficient storage policy requirements.
