govc-host-add

Migrate virtual NIC (vmk) from Standard vSwitch to Distributed vSwitch

This task will enroll ESXi nodes to either a datacenter or cluster. If just esxi/datacenter-name is specified and esxi/cluster-name is not specified then the host will be added to the Datacenter. If both are specified, then the host will be added to the Cluster that exists in the specified Datacenter.

If esxi/cluster-folder is provided then the host will also be added to that Folder.

If datacenter and/or cluster does not yet exist on the vCenter, they will be created first.

The Param esxi/cluster-options can be specified to change the cluster configuration options. This is also used to enable VSAN configuration on the cluster level. Cluster options are only configured if the cluster name Param is also specified.

This task is intended to be run from the govc context. It is not run as a standalone workflow, as the older govc-cluster-create pattern used to operate.
