Get the NFS Server details for datastore

[Popyllol]

SUMMARY

It would be very nice to get more details about the VMWare datastore. In case of a NFS datastore I would love to get the NFS server and the path on the NFS server.

ISSUE TYPE

• Feature Idea

COMPONENT NAME

vmware_datastore_facts.py

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I need the data about NFS source to select the right NetApp where I have to create a snapshot.

  - name: "Gather guest facts"
    delegate_to: localhost
    become:      false
    vmware_guest_facts:
      hostname:       '{{ vcenter_hostname }}'
      username:       '{{ vcenter_username }}'
      password:       '{{ vcenter_password }}'
      datacenter:     '{{ vm_datacenter }}'
      validate_certs: no
      folder:         '{{ vm_folder.folders }}'
      name:           '{{ inventory_hostname }}'
    register: vm_facts

  - name: "Gather datastore facts"
    delegate_to: localhost
    become:      false
    vmware_datastore_facts:
      hostname:       '{{ vcenter_hostname }}'
      username:       '{{ vcenter_username }}'
      password:       '{{ vcenter_password }}'
      datacenter:     '{{ vm_datacenter }}'
      validate_certs: no
      name:           '{{ item }}'
    register: vm_datastore_facts
    with_items:
      - '{{ vm_facts.instance.hw_datastores }}'

  - debug:
      msg: '{{ vm_datastore_facts }}'

Now I get:

...
                    {
                        "accessible": true, 
                        "capacity": 429496729600, 
                        "datastore_cluster": "N/A", 
                        "freeSpace": 316892692480, 
                        "maintenanceMode": "normal", 
                        "multipleHostAccess": true, 
                        "name": "svm35_webapp1_web001", 
                        "provisioned": 1006747443200, 
                        "type": "NFS", 
                        "uncommitted": 894143406080, 
                        "url": "ds:///vmfs/volumes/6f8b2cfd-7de80f72/"
                    }
...

What I want to get:

...
                    {
                        "accessible": true, 
                        "capacity": 429496729600, 
                        "datastore_cluster": "N/A", 
                        "freeSpace": 316892692480, 
                        "maintenanceMode": "normal", 
                        "multipleHostAccess": true, 
                        "name": "svm35_webapp1_web001", 
                        "provisioned": 1006747443200, 
                        "type": "NFS", 
                        "nfs_server": "filer01",
                        "nfs_path": "/data",
                        "uncommitted": 894143406080, 
                        "url": "ds:///vmfs/volumes/6f8b2cfd-7de80f72/"
                    }
...

I'm already working on it. Need more time for testing (NFS41, etc. pp.) before creating the PR.

The output looks like this:

ok: [esxi_host.local] => (item={u'accessible': True, u'freeSpace': 108918902784, u'multipleHostAccess': True, u'capacity': 141666816000, u'name': u'glustervol1-software', u'provisioned': 32747913216, u'url': u'ds:///vmfs/volumes/7d7c070e-cdeb2ddb-0000-000000000000/', u'datastore_cluster': u'N/A', u'nfs_path': u'/glustervol1/Software', u'uncommitted': 0, u'nfs_server': u'nfs_server.local', u'type': u'NFS41', u'maintenanceMode': u'normal'}) => {
