govc/ova-version
Defines any additional command line options to pass to ansible for playbooks
The version of the OVA Resource that is deployed via the govc/commands
.
Various OVA appliances exhibit unique and strange behaviors that need to be accounted for by the Digital Rebar deployment tooling at times.
For example, the VCSA 6.x OVA deployment; when complete, uses 'root@vsphere.local'
account name. This is used by the govc-wait-for-vcenter
task to verify
the API is fully up, and the deployment is complete. However, in VCSA 7.x
the username is secretly and mystically changed to 'administrator@vsphere.local'.
Setting the govc/ova-type
to vcsa
, and this Param to 7
, allows the
tooling to switch auth accounts.
In the future, if unique rules in various places are required, then the combination of "ova-type" and "ova-version" can be codified in the tooling to react accordingly.
