Hi rubberduck70,
in the link I posted you find the action we use to deploy VMs on SDRS cluster:
VC:Task myDeploymentAction (VC:StoragePod StoragePod, VC:VirtualMachine Template, string VirtualMachineName, VC:VmFolder VmFolder, VC:ResourcePool ResourcePool, Any VirtualMachineCloneSpec, VC:HostSystem HostSystem[optional], Array/Any initialVmConfig[optional])
var storageSpec = new VcStoragePlacementSpec();
var podSelectionSpec = new VcStorageDrsPodSelectionSpec();
var location = new VcVirtualMachineRelocateSpec();
var myVcStoragePlacementResult = VcStoragePlacementResult();
var managedObject = Template.sdkConnection.storageResourceManager;
var myKey = new Array();
if ( initialVmConfig[0].storagePod == null )
{ initialVmConfig[0] = new VcVmPodConfigForPlacement(); initialVmConfig[0].storagePod = StoragePod;
}
podSelectionSpec.storagePod = StoragePod;
podSelectionSpec.initialVmConfig = initialVmConfig;
location.pool = ResourcePool;
storageSpec.type = "clone";
storageSpec.vm = Template;
storageSpec.podSelectionSpec = podSelectionSpec;
storageSpec.cloneSpec = VirtualMachineCloneSpec;
storageSpec.cloneName = VirtualMachineName;
storageSpec.folder = VmFolder;
if ( HostSystem != null )
{ storageSpec.host = HostSystem;
}
myVcStoragePlacementResult = managedObject.recommendDatastores(storageSpec); // StorageResourceManager
myKey[0] = myVcStoragePlacementResult.recommendations[0].key
myVcTask = managedObject.applyStorageDrsRecommendation_Task(myKey);
return myVcTask;This action needs the following inputs:
VC:StoragePod StoragePod - the SDRS cluster you want to deploy to
VC:VirtualMachine Template - the VM object of the template you want to clone
string VirtualMachineName - the name of the new VM
VC:VmFolder VmFolder - the folder you want to deploy to
VC:ResourcePool ResourcePool - the resource pool of a cluster, a host resource or a cluster resource you want to deploy to
Any VirtualMachineCloneSpec - the VM clone specification with information's about memory size, vCPUs and so on
VC:HostSystem HostSystem - Optional!! You don't need a hostsystem here. This action will deploy on one of the hosts he can associate with the ResourcePool
Array/Any initialVmConfig - Optional!! First item of the Array could be a VcStoragePodSelectionSpec
Hope this helps and regards,
Chris
