Vcenter Simulator and Terraform template for testing library

Install requirements:

• vcsim
• govc
• terraform

1. vCenter Simulator Install

• https://github.com/vmware/govmomi/tree/master/vcsim

# Usage vcsim binary in mce-lib-vsphere
curl -L -o ~/bin/vcsim https://raw.githubusercontent.com/multi-cloud-explorer/mce-lib-vpshere/master/utils/vcsim
chmod +x ~/bin/vcsim

# OR:

# Compile vcsim binary with Docker
docker run -it --rm -v ~/bin:/gopath/bin nimmis/golang go get -u github.com/vmware/govmomi/vcsim
sudo chown $USER:$USER ~/bin/vcsim

# Run simulator - 2 datacenters
~/bin/vcsim -api-version 6.5 -dc 2 -l 127.0.0.1:8989 -username user1 -password pass

2. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/multi-cloud-explorer/mce-lib-vpshere.git
cd mce-lib-vpshere

3. Launch Vcenter Simulator:

./utils/vcsim -api-version 6.5 \
  -l 0.0.0.0:8989 \
  -username user1 -password pass \
   -app 0 -vm 0

Copie export line from vcsim console:" export GOVC_INSECURE=true GOVC_URL=https://user1:pass@10.0.2.15:8989/sdk GOVC_SIM_PID=2800308

Open a new windows

4. Terraform Install

curl -L -O https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.12.24/terraform_0.12.24_linux_amd64.zip
unzip terraform_0.12.24_linux_amd64.zip -d .
sudo mv terraform /usr/local/bin
terraform --version
rm -f terraform_0.12.24_linux_amd64.zip

5. Test with govc command before terraform:

govc find -l

Output:

Folder                       /DC0/datastore
Datastore                    /DC0/datastore/LocalDS_0
Folder                       /DC0/network
Network                      /DC0/network/VM Network
DistributedVirtualSwitch     /DC0/network/DVS0
DistributedVirtualPortgroup  /DC0/network/DVS0-DVUplinks-9
DistributedVirtualPortgroup  /DC0/network/DC0_DVPG0

6. Create VM Template with govc:

govc vm.create -m 2048 -c 2 -g windows9Server64Guest -net.adapter vmxnet3 \
   -disk.controller pvscsi -ds=datastore/LocalDS_0 -pool=DC0_H0/Resources \
   -net="network/VM Network" template-vm

7. Run terraform:

cd demo-terraform
terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply -auto-approve

8. Test with govc command after terraform:

govc find -l
