ok I was able to use the customization_spec to join the machine to the
domain
But how do I assign the statistic IP to the server?
my host file looks like this before using the customization_spec
[prod-k8s-workers]
prod-k8s-worker01 deploy_vsphere_datastore='RW-VA-NIM-VOL9'
guest_custom_ip='10.200.1.41' guest_notes='Worker #01'
prod-k8s-worker02 deploy_vsphere_datastore='RW-VA-NIM-VOL9'
guest_custom_ip='10.200.1.43' guest_notes='Worker #02'
#prod-k8s-worker03 deploy_vsphere_datastore='RW-VA-NIM-VOL9'
guest_custom_ip='10.200.1.44' guest_notes='Worker #03'
#prod-k8s-worker04 deploy_vsphere_datastore='RW-VA-NIM-VOL9'
guest_custom_ip='10.200.1.45' guest_notes='Worker #04'
#prod-k8s-worker05 deploy_vsphere_datastore='RW-VA-NIM-VOL9'
guest_custom_ip='10.200.1.46' guest_notes='Worker #05'
and in my roles file
networks:
- name: '{{ guest_network }}'
ip: '{{ guest_custom_ip }}'
netmask: '{{ guest_netmask }}'
gateway: '{{ guest_gateway }}'
customization:
dns_servers:
- '{{ guest_dns_server }}'
domain : '{{ guest_domain_name }}'
hostname: '{{ inventory_hostname }}
I guess I cannot use the values in my roles file when using
customization_spec?
