Create virtual guest

This topic lists the XML samples and node element descriptions required for configuring the request and response of the VMware_Integration module for creating a virtual guest.

The following table lists the workflow names used for creating a virtual guest in the VMware and BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management integration:

Workflow type

Name

CLM_Integration

Create Virtual Guest

VMware_Integration

Create Virtual Guest Implementation

Warning

Note

By default, the IP address from BNA is not assigned to the provisioned virtual guest. To assign an IP address, ensure that a deployment parameter with the value assignip is associated with the blueprint. The same is available as DeploymentParameter in the CSM request. This is applicable only when IP assignment is set to Static in the NICs section under Network Resources.

When IP assignment is set to Dynamic, an IP address is returned by the virtual guest that is created.

 

Request to VM_Integration module

All of the following node elements are required for configuring the request:

Represents a valid virtual guest entry

<name>

Specifies the name of a virtual guest

<uuid>

Specifies a unique UUID for the virtual guest

<powered-on>

Specifies the power state of the virtual guest

<total-memory>

Specifies the total memory, in MB, of the virtual guest

<vcpus>

Specifies the number of CPUs for the virtual guest

<operating-system>

Specifies the operating system description

<local-disks>

Specifies a list of local disks attached, as seen from an operating system

<disk>

Represents one local disk entry

<name>

Specifies the name of virtual disk as seen from inside the operating system

<capacity>

Specifies the capacity of local disk in bytes

<nic-settings>

Specifies the settings of NICs attached to virtual guest

<nic-setting>

Specifies the settings of one attached NIC

<ip-address>

Specifies the IP address associated with the NIC

<subnet-mask>

Details the subnet mask associated with the IP address

<gateway>
