(A) Basic PhotonOS Patterns
- Prerequisites: This lab uses Docker to run ovftool as a container. Prior to running the script below, please upload the 4.4.3 ovftool Linux x64 bit bundle to the Master Controller at
/usr/local/drop. See the following VMware Downloads page: https://customerconnect.vmware.com/downloads/get-download?downloadGroup=OVFTOOL443. - Description: build ovftool into a container.
- Expected runtime: 1-2min
Step 1: using the master controller, navigate to the drop repo.
cd /usr/local/drop
Step 2: Verify the VMware-ovftool-4.4.3-18663434-lin.x86_64 bundle has been downloaded.
ls
Should return:
root@photon-machine [ /usr/local/drop ]# ls
VMware-ovftool-4.4.3-18663434-lin.x86_64.bundle
Step 3: build the ovftool container
cd /usr/local/e2e-patterns/photon/
sh build-e2e-pattern-ovftool.sh
Use the following syntax to test or run the ovftool
docker run ovftool --rm -it -v $PWD --help
- Prerequisites: None.
- Description: build powercli container.
- Expected runtime: 1-2min
Step 1: using the master controller, navigate to the /usr/local/e2e-patterns/photon repo.
cd /usr/local/e2e-patterns/photon
Step 2: build the powercli container.
sh build-e2e-pattern-pcli.sh
To run the PowerCLI container interactively, run the following:
docker run --rm -it vmware/powerclicore
To run a PowerShell script, run the following (replace sample.ps1 with appropriate script name):
docker run --rm --entrypoint="/usr/bin/pwsh" -v ${PWD}:/tmp vmware/powerclicore /tmp/sample.ps1
NOTE: all PowerShell scripts need to begin with #!/bin/sh otherwise you will receive exec format error from Docker. For example: sample.ps1
#!/bin/sh
echo "Hello World!"
- Prerequisites: None.
- Description: build Terraform container.
- Expected runtime: 1-2min
Step 1: using the master controller, navigate to the /usr/local/e2e-patterns/photon repo.
cd /usr/local/e2e-patterns/photon
Step 2: build the terraform container.
sh build-e2ep-terraform.sh
To run the Terraform container interactively, run the following:
docker run -i -t hashicorp/terraform --help
Create main.tf file in a dedicated directory on the Photon appliance and use the following syntax to initialize:
docker run -v $(pwd):$(pwd) -w $(pwd) -i -t hashicorp/terraform init
Step 1: using the master controller, navigate to the /usr/local/e2e-patterns/minikube repo.
cd /usr/local/e2e-patterns/minikube
Step 2: build the minikube pattern on the Master Controller (small scale) using the -p parameter.
python3 build-e2ep-k8.py -p
Or build the minikube pattern on its own Photon Controller using the -a parameter.
python3 build-e2ep-k8.py -a
Step 3: validate kubectl
kubectl --help
- Prerequisites: None.
- Description: builds an Ansible container.
- Expected runtime: 1-2min
Step 1: using the master controller, navigate to the /usr/local/e2e-patterns/photon repo.
cd /usr/local/e2e-patterns/photon
Step 2: build the ansible container.
sh build-e2ep-ansible.sh
To run the ansible container interactively, run the following:
docker run -i -t alpinelinux/ansible ansible --help
- Prerequisites: Download PhotonOS ISO from here. Upload the ISO to the local ESXI datastore.
Step 1: using the master controller, navigate to the /usr/local/e2e-patterns/photon repo:
cd /usr/local/e2e-patterns/photon
Step 2: build the template by running the following script
python3 build-e2ep-photon-template.py
The script will pause when it is ready for you to mount the ISO to the virtual machine. Follow the instructions posted to the CLI.
In Progress.
- Prerequisites: Prerequisites: Pattern A-01 & Pattern A-02
- Description: deploy a PhotonOS appliance to the ESXi host and run the prep script.
- Expected runtime: 7-10min
Step 1: using the master controller, navigate to the /usr/local/e2e-patterns/photon repo:
cd /usr/local/e2e-patterns/photon
Step 2: deploy the photon controller using the following inputs:
- VM Name (as it will appear in vCenter)
python3 build-e2ep-photon-controller.py e2ep-photontest-02
