This repository provides a playbook, deploy.yml, that installs the V2V environment on top of an oVirt / RHV environment. It deploys a ManageIQ appliance using the latest nightly build, then it adds the providers, configures the conversion hosts and add the V2V assets to the ManageIQ appliance: appliance role, automate code, conversion hosts credentials.
Every action is done as root on the oVirt/RHV Manager machine.
This version lives in a specific branch of the repo, so we need to check this branch out:
$ git clone https://github.com/fdupont-redhat/v2v-demolab-ansible.git
$ cd v2v-demolab-ansible
$ git checkout deploy_from_rhvm
Currently, the playbook relies on features only available in unreleased version of oVirt.manageiq role, so we have install it from Github:
$ git clone https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-ansible-manageiq.git roles/oVirt.manageiq
On the oVirt/RHV Manager, also ensure you have the
ovirt-ansible-v2v-conversion-host package installed.
The following command line will launch the playbook:
$ ansible-playbook deploy.yml -e @extra_vars.yml --ask-vault-pass
The extra_vars.yml is not provided as it is specific to your environment.
A example file is provided
extra_vars.example.yml, so that you
can see what variables are available. Copy it to extra_vars.yml and adapt it
to your environment.
A example inventory is also provided:
inventory.example.yml. Copy it to
inventory.yml and adapt it to your environment.
You will have to provide some passwords, so consider using file encrypted by ansible-vault to protect them.
Most of the variables come from the oVirt.manageiq role, so we advise that you also read its documentation for further customization.
The follwing variables allow to connect to the oVirt / RHV API.
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| engine_fqdn | Hostname of the oVirt / RHV engine server |
| engine_user | Username of the oVirt / RHV engine server |
| engine_password | Password of the oVirt / RHV engine server |
The following variables allow the creation of the virtual machine, as well as
the configuration of the providers. By default, a oVirt / RHV provider is
created for the platform on which ManageIQ is deployed. The
miq_extra_providers allows to add more providers, such as the VMware source
providers. See extra_vars.example.yml
for an example.
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| miq_qcow_url | URL of the appliance to deploy (QCOW file) |
| miq_vm_name | Name of the VM |
| miq_vm_root_password | Root password of the VM |
| miq_vm_cluster | Name of the oVirt / RHV cluster where to deploy the VM |
| miq_vm_memory_gb | Amount of memory to allocate to the VM in GB |
| miq_vm_cpus | Number of vCPUs to allocate to the VM |
| miq_vm_ip_address | IP address of the VM |
| miq_vm_netmask | Netmask of the VM |
| miq_vm_gateway | Gateway of the VM |
| miq_vm_dns_servers | DNS servers |
| miq_vm_dns_domain | DNS domain |
| miq_vm_cloud_init | Cloud-init configuration to use (see oVirt.manageiq role) |
| miq_rhv_provider_name | Name of the provider configured for the current oVirt / RHV platform |
| miq_extra_providers | Additional providers to create during deployement |
| miq_v2v_automate_ref | Branch of the v2v-automate domain to use (default: master) |
Virtual machine extra disks (e.g. database, log, tmp): a dict named
miq_vm_disks allows to describe each of the extra disks (see example
playbook). For each disk, the following attributes can be set:
| Name | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| name | UNDEF | The name of the virtual machine disk. i |
| size | UNDEF | The virtual machine disk size (XXGiB). |
| interface | UNDEF | The virtual machine disk interface type (virtio or virtio_scsi). |
| format | UNDEF | The format of the virtual machine disk (raw or cow). |
The following variables are used to configure the conversion host during the deployemnt.
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| v2v_repo_rpms_name | Name of the repository for V2V packages |
| v2v_repo_rpms_url | URL of the repository for V2V packages |
| v2v_repo_srpms_name | Name of the repository for V2V source packages |
| v2v_repo_srpms_url | URL of the repository for V2V source packages |
| v2v_vddk_package_name | Name of the VDDK archive |
| v2v_vddk_package_url | URL of the VDDK archive |
In order to allow people to run specific parts of the playbook, we have implemented tags. Here is a list of available tags:
| Tag | Description |
|---|---|
| inventory | Ensures that ManageIQ appliance is added to the in memory inventory |
| conversion_host | Configure conversion hosts |
| extra_providers | Add providers to ManageIQ |
| manageiq_roles | Activate required ManageIQ roles |
| automate_domains | Add the V2V automate domain |
| ssh_keys | Deploys ManageIQ SSH key on RHV-M |
