vmware-vcsa's Introduction

VMware has ended active development of this project, this repository will no longer be updated.

VMware vCSA module

This module initializes and manages VMware vCenter Server Appliance (vCSA).

Description

VMware vCenter Server Appliance does not include or support puppet agent. The module manages vCSA through an intermediate host running puppet. The management host connects to vCSA via ssh to perform the initialization and configuration:

+------------+         +-------+
|            |   ssh   | vCSA  |
|   Puppet   | +-----> +-------+
| Management |   |
|    Host    |   |     +-------+
|            |    ---> | vCSA  |
+------------+         +-------+

A single management host can support any number of vCSA as long it has connectivity to the appliances.

Installation

$ puppet module install vmware/vcsa

Usage

Deploy vCSA image to ESX (via ovftool). The following manifest will initialize and configure the appliance with embedded database and sso:

vcsa { 'test':
  username => 'root',
  password => 'vmware',
  server   => '192.168.1.10',
  db_type  => 'embedded',
  capacity => 'm',
}

See init.pp for additional options, and 'vpxd_servicecfg help' for additional information.

Known Issues

In vCSA version 5.5 sshd_config MaxSessions needs to be increased above the default value of 1 due to net-ssh opening multiple channels when invoking ssh.exec!

vmware-vcsa's Issues

Getting undefined method `path' for nil:NilClass

Hi,
I'm trying to test the module but this is what I get:

Could not autoload puppet/type/vcsa_eula: Could not autoload puppet/provider/vcsa_eula/default: undefined method `path' for nil:NilClass

Depending on the run I get the same message for all the other vcsa providers, vcsa_db, vcsa_sso, vcsa_java, vcsa_service.

Puppet version is 3.1.0 on both the master and agent. Master us Ubuntu 12.04 and agent is SLES 11 (VMware Management Assistant).

Cheers,
Atha

Ciphers

Known-Issues

sshd_config - you also need to add a cbc cipher for Net::SSH to work.

i.e. add blowfish-cbc to the Ciphers in sshd_config and restart sshd.

Invalid Resource Type vcsa

I'm running Puppet Enterprise version 3.4.3 on Ubunto 12.04.4; trying to configure VMware vCSA version 5.5.0.10000 Build 1624811; modules and dependencies installed using the: puppet module install vmware-vcsa, data.pp customised for my appliance, appliance reachable via its webserver, not initialised yet, waiting for eula acceptance etc.

The error message I am getting when running: puppet apply init.pp

Error: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: Invalid resource type vcsa at /home/puppet-admin/.puppet/modules/vcsa/tests/init.pp:10 on node puppet.contoso.com
Wrapped exception:

When running the same command with the --trace parameter there is a lot in the output but the below stands out in reference to the above error:

/opt/puppet/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/puppet/util/command_line.rb:137:in run' /opt/puppet/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/puppet/util/command_line.rb:91:inexecute'
/opt/puppet/bin/puppet:4:in `

'
Wrapped exception: Invalid resource type vcsa

/opt/puppet/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/puppet/util/command_line.rb:137:in run' /opt/puppet/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/puppet/util/command_line.rb:91:inexecute'
/opt/puppet/bin/puppet:4:in `

'
Error: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: Invalid resource type vcsa at /home/puppet-admin/.puppet/modules/vcsa/tests/init.pp:10

Is this an issue or given the above, is there anything wonky with my setup?

Many Thanks
Andy

Error while installing VCSA 6.5

Hello All,

I am trying to install VCSA6.5 using UI on my windows PC but getting below error can anyone help me out

VCSA 5.5 SSH MaxSessions

When applying initial configuration to a new 5.5 VCSA, puppet will fail with the error:

Error: /Stage[main]//Vcsa[demo]/Vcsa_eula[demo]/ensure: change from absent to present failed: Could not set 'present' on ensure: open failed (1) at 53:/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/vcsa/manifests/init.pp

This is due to the MaxSessions 1 setting in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. As a workaround, you can remove this line or change to MaxSessions 10.

Additionally, an issue is documented for the net-ssh library to handle non-multiplexed SSH sessions: net-ssh/net-ssh#121
