esxi-sddc-cluster-configure

Run VMware vSphere SDDC Cluster Configuration operations.

This workflow runs SDDC (Software Defined Data Center) cluster configuration operations via Context containers. It performs the following functions:

  • record each ESXi nodes thumbprint on the Machine object
  • initial datacenter create and cluster create
  • enroll the specified ESXi nodes in the cluster
  • build VSAN datastore if specified
  • claim disks according to the (extensible) rule selection
  • enable VSAN in the cluster
  • create Distributed Virtual Switch(es)
  • migrate Standard Virtual Switch to DVS (if desired)

Requires that the ESXi nodes have been completely built, and vCenter instance(s) have been deployed on to ESXI.
