Let us look at how to set up the ansible vmware add SCSI controller with the support of our VMWare support services at Bobcares.

How to add SCSI controller to a VMWare using Ansible?

The vmware_vm_shell module in Ansible may be used to execute commands on a VMware vSphere virtual machine.

We have to follow the steps given below to install a SCSI controller to a virtual system using Ansible:

• Install the pyvmomi library:

  The first step to set is to ensure that we have set up the pyvmomi on the Ansible control node. Ansible uses the pyvmomi library to communicate with the VMware vSphere API.

  It is easy to install this using a pip package manager with the command line given below:

  pip install pyvmomi

• Set up the vSphere connection details:

  For the next step to add scsi controller in VMWare ussing Ansible we have to define the vSphere connection details. These details includes
  vCenter Server IP or hostname, username, and password.

  We can store these confifurations or details as variables or use the Ansible modules. We can esither use the vmware_guest or vmware_vm_shell for the process to specify the parameters of the connection.

• Use the vmware_vm_shell module:

  We cna run shell commands within a VMware virtual machine using the vmware_vm_shell module. In this scenario, we’ll add the SCSI controller using a shell command.

  Here’s an example task for adding a SCSI controller to a virtual machine:

  

  The vm_id variable represents the virtual machine ID or name in this example, while the vm_username and vm_password variables indicate the credentials needed to run the shell command within the virtual machine.

  The parameter delegate_to: localhost guarantees that the job is run on the Ansible control node.

  The vm_shell option includes the shell command to add a SCSI controller using VMware’s vim-cmd application.

  The command vim-cmd vmsvc/device.addscsicontroller ” vm_id ” adds a SCSI controller to the virtual machine provided by vm_id.

  Adjust the task settings and variables to fit the situation.

• Run the playbook:

  To add the SCSI controller to the virtual machine, run the playbook or task that includes the vmware_vm_shell module. The module will connect to the vCenter Server, execute the shell command within the VM, and configure the SCSI controller.

We can automate the process of adding a SCSI controller to a VMware virtual machine using Ansible’s vmware_vm_shell module, easing maintenance and setup operations in the vSphere infrastructure.
