If a value is specified, the folder must exist. If no value is specified, a folder named with the cluster ID will be created in the `datacenter` VM folder. 13 * `resourcePool` (optional string): The absolute path of an existing resource pool where the installer should create VMs. The absolute path is of the form `/example_datacenter/host/example_cluster/Resources/example_resource_pool/optionally_sub_resource_pool`. If a value is specified, the resource pool must exist. If no value is specified, resources will be installed in the root of the cluster `/example_datacenter/host/example_cluster/Resources`. 14 15 ## Machine pools 16 17 * `osDisk` (optional object): 18 * `diskSizeGB` (optional integer): The size of the disk in gigabytes (GB). 19 * `cpus` (optional integer): The total number of virtual processor cores to assign a vm. 20 * `coresPerSocket` (optional integer): The number of cores per socket in a vm. The number of vCPUs on the vm will be cpus/coresPerSocket (default is 1). 21 * `memoryMB` (optional integer): The size of a VM's memory in megabytes. 22 * `disk_type` (optional string): DiskType is the name of the disk provisioning type, valid values are thin, thick, and eagerZeroedThick. When not specified, it will be set according to the default storage policy of vsphere. 23 24 ## Examples 25 26 Some example `install-config.yaml` are shown below. 27 For examples of platform-agnostic configuration fragments, see [here](../customization.md#examples). 28 29 ### Minimal 30 31 An example minimal vSphere install config is: 32 33 ```yaml 34 apiVersion: v1 35 baseDomain: example.com 36 metadata: 37 name: test-cluster 38 platform: 39 vSphere: 40 vCenter: your.vcenter.example.com 41 username: username 42 password: password 43 datacenter: datacenter 44 defaultDatastore: datastore 45 pullSecret: '{"auths": ...}' 46 sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA... 47 ``` 48 49 ### Custom Machine Pools 50 51 An example vSphere install config with custom machine pools: 52 ```yaml 53 apiVersion: v1 54 baseDomain: example.com 55 controlPlane: 56 name: master 57 platform: 58 vsphere: 59 cpus: 8 60 coresPerSocket: 2 61 memoryMB: 24576 62 osDisk: 63 diskSizeGB: 512 64 replicas: 3 65 compute: 66 - name: worker 67 platform: 68 vsphere: 69 cpus: 8 70 coresPerSocket: 2 71 memoryMB: 24576 72 osDisk: 73 diskSizeGB: 512 74 replicas: 5 75 metadata: 76 name: test-cluster 77 platform: 78 vSphere: 79 vCenter: your.vcenter.example.com 80 username: username 81 password: password 82 datacenter: datacenter 83 defaultDatastore: datastore 84 pullSecret: '{"auths": ...}' 85 sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA... 86 ```
