Manages vCMP (Virtual Clustered Multiprocessing) guests on a BIG-IP. This functionality only exists on actual hardware and must be enabled by provisioning C(vcmp) with the C(bigip_provision) module.

name: description: - The name of the vCMP guest to manage. required: true type: str state: choices: - configured - disabled - provisioned - present - absent default: present description: - The state of the vCMP guest on the system. Each state implies the actions of all states before it. - When C(configured), guarantees the vCMP guest exists with the provided attributes. Additionally, ensures the vCMP guest is turned off. - When C(disabled), behaves the same way as C(configured), it is just a more user-friendly name. - When C(provisioned), ensures the guest is created and installed. This state does not start the guest; use C(deployed) for that purpose. This state is one step beyond C(present), as C(present) does not install the guest; only sets up the configuration for it to be installed. - When C(present), ensures the guest is properly provisioned and starts the guest so that it is in a running state. - When C(absent), removes the vCMP from the system. type: str vlans: description: - VLANs the guest uses to communicate with other guests, the host, and with the external network. The available VLANs in the list are those that are currently configured on the vCMP host. - The order of these VLANs is not important and is ignored. This module orders the VLANs automatically. Therefore, if you deliberately re-order them in subsequent tasks, this module does B(not) register a change. elements: str type: list provider: description: - A dict object containing connection details. suboptions: auth_provider: description: - Configures the auth provider for to obtain authentication tokens from the remote device. - This option is really used when working with BIG-IQ devices. type: str no_f5_teem: default: false description: - If C(yes), TEEM telemetry data is not sent to F5. - You may omit this option by setting the environment variable C(F5_TELEMETRY_OFF). - Previously used variable C(F5_TEEM) is deprecated as its name was confusing. type: bool password: aliases: - pass - pwd description: - The password for the user account used to connect to the BIG-IP or the BIG-IQ. - You may omit this option by setting the environment variable C(F5_PASSWORD). required: true type: str server: description: - The BIG-IP host or the BIG-IQ host. - You may omit this option by setting the environment variable C(F5_SERVER). required: true type: str server_port: default: 443 description: - The BIG-IP server port. - You may omit this option by setting the environment variable C(F5_SERVER_PORT). type: int timeout: description: - Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error. type: int transport: choices: - rest default: rest description: - Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. type: str user: description: - The username to connect to the BIG-IP or the BIG-IQ. This user must have administrative privileges on the device. - You may omit this option by setting the environment variable C(F5_USER). required: true type: str validate_certs: default: true description: - If C(no), SSL certificates are not validated. Use this only on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. - You may omit this option by setting the environment variable C(F5_VALIDATE_CERTS). type: bool type: dict version_added: 1.0.0 version_added_collection: f5networks.f5_modules partition: default: Common description: - Device partition to manage resources on. type: str mgmt_route: description: - Specifies the gateway address for the C(mgmt_address). - If this value is not specified when creating a new guest, it is set to C(none). - The value C(none) can be used during an update to remove this value. type: str mgmt_address: description: - Specifies the IP address and subnet or subnet mask you use to access the guest when you want to manage a module running within the guest. This parameter is required if the C(mgmt_network) parameter is C(bridged). - When creating a new guest, if you do not specify a network or network mask, a default of C(/24) (C(255.255.255.0)) is used. type: str mgmt_network: choices: - bridged - isolated - host only description: - Specifies the method by which the management address is used in the vCMP guest. - When C(bridged), specifies the guest can communicate with the vCMP host's management network. - When C(isolated), specifies the guest is isolated from the vCMP host's management network. In this case, the only way a guest can communicate with the vCMP host is through the console port or through a self IP address on the guest that allows traffic through port 22. - When C(host only), prevents the guest from installing images and hotfixes other than those provided by the hypervisor. - If the guest setting is C(isolated) or C(host only), the C(mgmt_address) does not apply. - For mode changing, changing C(bridged) to C(isolated) causes the vCMP host to remove all of the guest's management interfaces from its bridged management network. This immediately disconnects the guest's VMs from the physical management network. Changing C(isolated) to C(bridged) causes the vCMP host to dynamically add the guest's management interfaces to the bridged management network. This immediately connects all of the guest's VMs to the physical management network. Changing this property while the guest is in the C(configured) or C(provisioned) state has no immediate effect. type: str allowed_slots: description: - Contains those slots to which the guest is allowed to be assigned. - When the host determines which slots this guest should be assigned, only slots in this list are considered. - This is a good way to force guests to be assigned only to particular slots, or, by configuring disjoint C(allowed_slots) on two guests, that those guests are never assigned to the same slot. - By default, this list includes every available slot in the cluster. This means the guest may be assigned to any slot by default. elements: str type: list initial_image: description: - Specifies the base software release ISO image file for installing the TMOS hypervisor instance and any licensed BIG-IP modules onto the guest's virtual disk. When creating a new guest, this parameter is required. Ensure this image is present on the VCMP host and not only on the VCMP guest. Also, the file reference for this image should be the one present on the host and not on the guest. type: str cores_per_slot: description: - Specifies the number of cores the system allocates to the guest. - Each core represents a portion of CPU and memory. Therefore, the amount of memory allocated per core is directly tied to the amount of CPU. This amount of memory varies per hardware platform type. - The number you can specify depends on the type of hardware you have. - In the event of a reboot, the system persists the guest to the same slot on which it ran prior to the reboot. type: int initial_hotfix: description: - Specifies the hotfix ISO image file which is applied on top of the base image. type: str number_of_slots: description: - Specifies the number of slots for the system to use when creating the guest. - This value dictates how many cores a guest is allocated from each slot to which it is assigned. - Possible values are dependent on the type of blades being used in this cluster. - The default value depends on the type of blades being used in this cluster. type: int delete_virtual_disk: default: false description: - When C(state) is C(absent), the system additionally deletes the virtual disk associated with the vCMP guest. By default, this value is C(false). type: bool min_number_of_slots: description: - Specifies the minimum number of slots the guest must be assigned to in order to deploy. - This field dictates the number of slots to which the guest must be assigned. - At the end of any allocation attempt, if the guest is not assigned to at least this many slots, the attempt fails and the change that initiated it is reverted. - A guest's C(min_number_of_slots) value cannot be greater than its C(number_of_slots). type: int
