applicationType VolumeApplicationType ApplicationType describes the type of application for which this volume
is intended to be used.
  • OracleRAC -- The volume is configured with diskMode=IndependentPersistent and sharingMode=MultiWriter and attached to the first SCSI controller with an available slot and sharingMode=None. If no such controller exists, a new ParaVirtual SCSI controller will be created with sharingMode=None long as there are currently three or fewer SCSI controllers.
  • MicrosoftWSFC -- The volume is configured with diskMode=IndependentPersistent and attached to a SCSI controller with sharingMode=Physical. If no such controller exists, a new ParaVirtual SCSI controller will be created with sharingMode=Physical as long as there are currently three or fewer SCSI controllers. | | controllerBusNumber integer | ControllerBusNumber describes the bus number of the controller to which this volume should be attached.

The bus number specifies a controller based on the value of the controllerType field:

  • IDE -- spec.hardware.ideControllers
  • NVME -- spec.hardware.nvmeControllers
  • SATA -- spec.hardware.sataControllers
  • SCSI -- spec.hardware.scsiControllers

If this and controllerType are both omitted, the volume will be attached to the first available SCSI controller. If there is no SCSI controller with an available slot, a new ParaVirtual SCSI controller will be added as long as there are currently three or fewer SCSI controllers.

If the specified controller has no available slots, the request will be denied. | | controllerType VirtualControllerType | ControllerType describes the type of the controller to which this volume should be attached.

Please keep in mind the number of volumes supported by the different types of controllers:

  • IDE -- 4 total (2 per controller)
  • NVME -- 256 total (64 per controller)
  • SATA -- 120 total (30 per controller)
  • SCSI (ParaVirtual) -- 252 total (63 per controller)
  • SCSI (BusLogic) -- 60 total (15 per controller)
  • SCSI (LsiLogic) -- 60 total (15 per controller)
  • SCSI (LsiLogicSAS) -- 60 total (15 per controller)

Please note, the number of supported volumes per SCSI controller may seem off, but remember that a SCSI controller occupies a slot on its own bus. Thus even though a ParaVirtual SCSI controller supports 64 targets and the other types of SCSI controllers support 16 targets, one of the targets is occupied by the controller itself.

Defaults to SCSI when controllerBusNumber is also omitted; otherwise the default value is determined by the logic outlined in the description of the controllerBusNumber field. | | diskMode VolumeDiskMode | DiskMode describes the desired mode to use when attaching the volume.

Please note, volumes attached as IndependentNonPersistent or IndependentPersistent are not included in a VM's snapshots or backups.

Also, any data written to volumes attached as IndependentNonPersistent or NonPersistent will be discarded when the VM is powered off.

Defaults to Persistent. | | sharingMode VolumeSharingMode | SharingMode describes the volume's desired sharing mode.

When applicationType=OracleRAC, the field defaults to MultiWriter. Otherwise, defaults to None. | | unitNumber integer | UnitNumber describes the desired unit number for attaching the volume to a storage controller.

When omitted, the next available unit number of the selected controller is used.

This value must be unique for the controller referenced by the controllerBusNumber and controllerType properties. If the value is already used by another device, this volume will not be attached.

Please note the value 7 is invalid if controllerType=SCSI as 7 is the unit number of the SCSI controller on its own bus. |

loadBalancerIP string LoadBalancer will get created with the IP specified in this field.
Only applies to VirtualMachineService Type: LoadBalancer
This feature depends on whether the underlying load balancer provider
supports specifying the loadBalancerIP when a load balancer is created.
This field will be ignored if the provider does not support the feature.
Deprecated: This field was under-specified and its meaning varies across implementations.
Using it is non-portable and it may not support dual-stack.
Users are encouraged to use implementation-specific annotations when available.
loadBalancerSourceRanges string array LoadBalancerSourceRanges is an array of IP addresses in the format of
CIDRs, for example: 103.21.244.0/22 and 10.0.0.0/24.
If specified and supported by the load balancer provider, this will
restrict ingress traffic to the specified client IPs. This field will be
ignored if the provider does not support the feature.
clusterIp string ClusterIP is the IP address of the service and is usually assigned
randomly by the master. If an address is specified manually and is not in
use by others, it will be allocated to the service; otherwise, creation
of the service will fail. This field can not be changed through updates.
Valid values are "None", empty string (""), or a valid IP address. "None"
can be specified for headless services when proxying is not required.
Only applies to types ClusterIP and LoadBalancer.
Ignored if type is ExternalName.
More info: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#virtual-ips-and-service-proxies
externalName string ExternalName is the external reference that kubedns or equivalent will
return as a CNAME record for this service. No proxying will be involved.
Must be a valid RFC-1123 hostname (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1123)
and requires Type to be ExternalName.

VirtualMachineSnapshotReference

Appears in: - VirtualMachineSnapshotStatus - VirtualMachineStatus

Field Description
type VirtualMachineSnapshotReferenceType Type describes the type of the snapshot reference.

Possible values are: Managed, Unmanaged | | name string | Name is the name of the snapshot resource. This field is only set for managed snapshots. |

VirtualMachineSnapshotReferenceType

Underlying type: string

VirtualMachineSnapshotReferenceType defines the type of the snapshot reference.

Appears in: - VirtualMachineSnapshotReference

VirtualMachineSnapshotSpec

VirtualMachineSnapshotSpec defines the desired state of VirtualMachineSnapshot.

Appears in: - VirtualMachineSnapshot

Field Description
memory boolean Memory represents whether the snapshot includes the VM's
memory. If true, a dump of the internal state of the virtual
machine (a memory dump) is included in the snapshot. Memory
snapshots consume time and resources and thus, take longer to
create.
The virtual machine must support this capability.
When set to false, the power state of the snapshot is set to
false.
For a VM in suspended state, memory is always included
in the snashot.
quiesce QuiesceSpec Quiesce represents the spec used for granular control over
quiesce details. If quiesceSpec is set and the virtual machine
is powered on when the snapshot is taken, VMware Tools is used
to quiesce the file system in the virtual machine. This assures
that a disk snapshot represents a consistent state of the guest
file systems. If the virtual machine is powered off or VMware
Tools are not available, the quiesce spec is ignored.
description string Description represents a description of the snapshot.
vmName string VMName represents the name of the virtual machine for which the
snapshot is requested.

VirtualMachineSnapshotStatus

VirtualMachineSnapshotStatus defines the observed state of VirtualMachineSnapshot.

Appears in: - VirtualMachineSnapshot

Field Description
powerState VirtualMachinePowerState PowerState represents the observed power state of the virtual
machine when the snapshot was taken.
quiesced boolean Quiesced represents whether or not the snapshot was created
with the quiesce option to ensure a snapshot with a consistent
state of the guest file system.
uniqueID string UniqueID describes a unique identifier provider by the backing
infrastructure (e.g., vSphere) that can be used to distinguish
this snapshot from other snapshots of this virtual machine.
children VirtualMachineSnapshotReference array Children represents the snapshots for which this snapshot is
the parent.
conditions Condition array Conditions describes the observed conditions of the VirtualMachine.
storage VirtualMachineSnapshotStorageStatus Storage describes the observed amount of storage used by a
VirtualMachineSnapshot, including the space for FCDs.

Appears in: - VirtualMachineSnapshotStatus

Field Description
used Quantity Used describes the observed amount of storage used by a
VirtualMachineSnapshot, except the space for FCDs.
requested VirtualMachineSnapshotStorageStatusRequested array Requested describes the observed amount of storage requested by a
VirtualMachineSnapshot. It's a list of requested storage for each
storage class.
Since a snapshot can have multiple PVCs, it can point to multiple storage
classes.

VirtualMachineSnapshotStorageStatusRequested

VirtualMachineSnapshotStorageStatusRequested describes the observed amount of storage requested by a VirtualMachineSnapshot for a storage class.

Appears in: - VirtualMachineSnapshotStorageStatus

Field Description
storageClass string StorageClass is the name of the storage class.
total Quantity Total describes the total storage space requested by a
VirtualMachineSnapshot for the storage class.

VirtualMachineSpec

VirtualMachineSpec defines the desired state of a VirtualMachine.

Appears in: - VirtualMachine - VirtualMachineTemplateSpec

Field Description
image VirtualMachineImageRef Image describes the reference to the VirtualMachineImage or
ClusterVirtualMachineImage resource used to deploy this VM.

Please note, unlike the field spec.imageName, the value of spec.image.name MUST be a Kubernetes object name.

Please also note, when creating a new VirtualMachine, if this field and spec.imageName are both non-empty, then they must refer to the same resource or an error is returned.

Please note, this field may be empty if the VM was imported instead of deployed by VM Operator. An imported VirtualMachine resource references an existing VM on the underlying platform that was not deployed from a VM image. | | imageName string | ImageName describes the name of the image resource used to deploy this VM.

This field may be used to specify the name of a VirtualMachineImage or ClusterVirtualMachineImage resource. The resolver first checks to see if there is a VirtualMachineImage with the specified name in the same namespace as the VM being deployed. If no such resource exists, the resolver then checks to see if there is a ClusterVirtualMachineImage resource with the specified name.

This field may also be used to specify the display name (vSphere name) of a VirtualMachineImage or ClusterVirtualMachineImage resource. If the display name unambiguously resolves to a distinct VM image (among all existing VirtualMachineImages in the VM's namespace and all existing ClusterVirtualMachineImages), then a mutation webhook updates the spec.image field with the reference to the resolved VM image. If the display name resolves to multiple or no VM images, then the mutation webhook denies the request and returns an error.

Please also note, when creating a new VirtualMachine, if this field and spec.image are both non-empty, then they must refer to the same resource or an error is returned.

Please note, this field may be empty if the VM was imported instead of deployed by VM Operator. An imported VirtualMachine resource references an existing VM on the underlying platform that was not deployed from a VM image. | | className string | ClassName describes the name of the VirtualMachineClass resource used to deploy this VM.

When creating a virtual machine, if this field is empty and a VirtualMachineClassInstance is specified in spec.class, then this field is populated with the VirtualMachineClass object's name.

Please also note, when creating a new VirtualMachine, if this field and spec.class are both non-empty, then they must refer to the same VirtualMachineClass or an error is returned.

Please note, this field may be empty if the VM was imported instead of deployed by VM Operator. An imported VirtualMachine resource references an existing VM on the underlying platform that was not deployed from a VM class.

If a VM is using a class, a different value in spec.className leads to the VM being resized. | | class LocalObjectRef | Class describes the VirtualMachineClassInsance resource that is referenced by this virtual machine. This can be the VirtualMachineClassInstance that the virtual machine was created, or later resized with.

The value of spec.class.Name must be the Kubernetes object name of a valid VirtualMachineClassInstance resource.

Please also note, if this field and spec.className are both non-empty, then they must refer to the same VirtualMachineClass or an error is returned.

If a className is specified, but this field is omitted, VM operator picks the latest instance for the VM class to create the VM.

If a VM class has been modified and thus, the newly available VirtualMachineClassInstance can be specified in spec.class to trigger a resize operation. | | affinity AffinitySpec | Affinity describes the VM's scheduling constraints. | | crypto VirtualMachineCryptoSpec | Crypto describes the desired encryption state of the VirtualMachine. | | storageClass string | StorageClass describes the name of a Kubernetes StorageClass resource used to configure this VM's storage-related attributes.

Please see https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/storage-classes/ for more information on Kubernetes storage classes. | | bootstrap VirtualMachineBootstrapSpec | Bootstrap describes the desired state of the guest's bootstrap configuration.

If omitted, a default bootstrap method may be selected based on the guest OS identifier. If Linux, then the LinuxPrep method is used. | | network VirtualMachineNetworkSpec | Network describes the desired network configuration for the VM.

Please note this value may be omitted entirely and the VM will be assigned a single, virtual network interface that is connected to the Namespace's default network. | | powerState VirtualMachinePowerState | PowerState describes the desired power state of a VirtualMachine.

Please note this field may be omitted when creating a new VM and will default to "PoweredOn." However, once the field is set to a non-empty value, it may no longer be set to an empty value.

Additionally, setting this value to "Suspended" is not supported when creating a new VM. The valid values when creating a new VM are "PoweredOn" and "PoweredOff." An empty value is also allowed on create since this value defaults to "PoweredOn" for new VMs. | | powerOffMode VirtualMachinePowerOpMode | PowerOffMode describes the desired behavior when powering off a VM.

There are three, supported power off modes: Hard, Soft, and TrySoft. The first mode, Hard, is the equivalent of a physical system's power cord being ripped from the wall. The Soft mode requires the VM's guest to have VM Tools installed and attempts to gracefully shutdown the VM. Its variant, TrySoft, first attempts a graceful shutdown, and if that fails or the VM is not in a powered off state after five minutes, the VM is halted.

If omitted, the mode defaults to TrySoft. | | suspendMode VirtualMachinePowerOpMode | SuspendMode describes the desired behavior when suspending a VM.

There are three, supported suspend modes: Hard, Soft, and TrySoft. The first mode, Hard, is where vSphere suspends the VM to disk without any interaction inside of the guest. The Soft mode requires the VM's guest to have VM Tools installed and attempts to gracefully suspend the VM. Its variant, TrySoft, first attempts a graceful suspend, and if that fails or the VM is not in a put into standby by the guest after five minutes, the VM is suspended.

If omitted, the mode defaults to TrySoft. | | nextRestartTime string | NextRestartTime may be used to restart the VM, in accordance with RestartMode, by setting the value of this field to "now" (case-insensitive).

A mutating webhook changes this value to the current time (UTC), which the VM controller then uses to determine the VM should be restarted by comparing the value to the timestamp of the last time the VM was restarted.

Please note it is not possible to schedule future restarts using this field. The only value that users may set is the string "now" (case-insensitive). | | restartMode VirtualMachinePowerOpMode | RestartMode describes the desired behavior for restarting a VM when spec.nextRestartTime is set to "now" (case-insensitive).

There are three, supported suspend modes: Hard, Soft, and TrySoft. The first mode, Hard, is where vSphere resets the VM without any interaction inside of the guest. The Soft mode requires the VM's guest to have VM Tools installed and asks the guest to restart the VM. Its variant, TrySoft, first attempts a soft restart, and if that fails or does not complete within five minutes, the VM is hard reset.

If omitted, the mode defaults to TrySoft. | | volumes VirtualMachineVolume array | Volumes describes a list of volumes that can be mounted to the VM. | | readinessProbe VirtualMachineReadinessProbeSpec | ReadinessProbe describes a probe used to determine the VM's ready state. | | advanced VirtualMachineAdvancedSpec | Advanced describes a set of optional, advanced VM configuration options. | | reserved VirtualMachineReservedSpec | Reserved describes a set of VM configuration options reserved for system use.

Please note attempts to modify the value of this field by a DevOps user will result in a validation error. | | minHardwareVersion integer | MinHardwareVersion describes the desired, minimum hardware version.

The logic that determines the hardware version is as follows:

  1. If this field is set, then its value is used.
  2. Otherwise, if the VirtualMachineClass used to deploy the VM contains a non-empty hardware version, then it is used.
  3. Finally, if the hardware version is still undetermined, the value is set to the default hardware version for the Datacenter/Cluster/Host where the VM is provisioned.

This field is never updated to reflect the derived hardware version. Instead, VirtualMachineStatus.HardwareVersion surfaces the observed hardware version.

Please note, setting this field's value to N ensures a VM's hardware version is equal to or greater than N. For example, if a VM's observed hardware version is 10 and this field's value is 13, then the VM will be upgraded to hardware version 13. However, if the observed hardware version is 17 and this field's value is 13, no change will occur.

Several features are hardware version dependent, for example:

  • NVMe Controllers >= 14
  • Dynamic Direct Path I/O devices >= 17

Please refer to https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1003746 for a list of VM hardware versions.

It is important to remember that a VM's hardware version may not be downgraded and upgrading a VM deployed from an image based on an older hardware version to a more recent one may result in unpredictable behavior. In other words, please be careful when choosing to upgrade a VM to a newer hardware version. | | instanceUUID string | InstanceUUID describes the desired Instance UUID for a VM. If omitted, this field defaults to a random UUID. This value is only used for the VM Instance UUID, it is not used within cloudInit. This identifier is used by VirtualCenter to uniquely identify all virtual machine instances, including those that may share the same BIOS UUID. | | biosUUID string | BiosUUID describes the desired BIOS UUID for a VM. If omitted, this field defaults to a random UUID. When the bootstrap provider is Cloud-Init, this value is used as the default value for spec.bootstrap.cloudInit.instanceID if it is omitted. | | guestID string | GuestID describes the desired guest operating system identifier for a VM.

The logic that determines the guest ID is as follows:

If this field is set, then its value is used. Otherwise, if the VM is deployed from an OVF template that defines a guest ID, then that value is used. The guest ID from VirtualMachineClass used to deploy the VM is ignored.

For a complete list of supported values, please refer to https://developer.broadcom.com/xapis/vsphere-web-services-api/latest/vim.vm.GuestOsDescriptor.GuestOsIdentifier.html.

Please note that some guest ID values may require a minimal hardware version, which can be set using the spec.minHardwareVersion field. To see the mapping between virtual hardware versions and the product versions that support a specific guest ID, please refer to https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article/315655/virtual-machine-hardware-versions.html.

Please note that this field is immutable after the VM is powered on. To change the guest ID after the VM is powered on, the VM must be powered off and then powered on again with the updated guest ID spec.

This field is required when the VM has any CD-ROM devices attached. | | promoteDisksMode VirtualMachinePromoteDisksMode | PromoteDisksMode describes the mode used to promote a VM's delta disks to full disks. The available modes are:

  • Disabled -- Do not promote disks.
  • Online -- Promote disks while the VM is powered on. VMs with snapshots do not support online promotion.
  • Offline -- Promote disks while the VM is powered off.

Please note, this field is ignored for encrypted VMs since they do not use delta disks.

Defaults to Online. | | bootOptions VirtualMachineBootOptions | BootOptions describes the settings that control the boot behavior of the virtual machine. These settings take effect during the next power-on of the virtual machine. | | currentSnapshotName string | CurrentSnapshotName represents the desired snapshot that the VM should point to. This field can be specified to revert the VM to a given snapshot. Once the virtual machine has been successfully reverted to the desired snapshot, the value of this field is cleared.

The value of this field must be the name of an existing VirtualMachineSnapshot resource in the same namespace.

Reverting a virtual machine to a snapshot rolls back the data and the configuration of the virtual machine to that of the specified snapshot. The VirtualMachineSpec of the VirtualMachine resource is replaced from the one stored with the snapshot.

If the virtual machine is currently powered off, but you revert to a snapshot that was taken while the VM was powered on, then the VM will be automatically powered on during the revert. Additionally, the VirtualMachineSpec will be updated to match the power state from the snapshot (i.e., powered on). This can be overridden by specifying the PowerState to PoweredOff in the VirtualMachineSpec. | | groupName string | GroupName indicates the name of the VirtualMachineGroup to which this VM belongs.

VMs that belong to a group do not drive their own placement, rather that is handled by the group.

When this field is set to a valid group that contains this VM as a member, an owner reference to that group is added to this VM.

When this field is deleted or changed, any existing owner reference to the previous group will be removed from this VM. | | hardware VirtualMachineHardwareSpec | Hardware describes the VM's desired hardware. | | policies PolicySpec array | Policies describes a list of policies that should be explicitly applied to this VM.

Please note, not all policies may be applied explicitly to a VM. Please consult a policy to determine if it may be applied directly. For example, the ComputePolicy object from the vsphere.policy.vmware.com API group has a field named spec.type. Only ComputePolicy objects with type=Optional may be applied explicitly to a VM.

Valid policy types are: ComputePolicy. |
