Document URL: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.11/install_config/configuring_vsphere.html#vsphere-configuring-masters-ansible_configuring-for-vsphere Section Number and Name: Procedure 2. Describe the issue: The below variables are just present in the documentation. VM deployment openshift_cloudprovider_vsphere_template="rhel75-template" openshift_cloudprovider_vsphere_vm_network="VM Network" openshift_cloudprovider_vsphere_vm_netmask="255.255.254.0" openshift_cloudprovider_vsphere_vm_gateway="10.x.y.254" openshift_cloudprovider_vsphere_vm_dns="10.x.y.5" Suggestions for improvement: It would improve our doc quality if these would be explained/elaborated.
Hi Dave, Are you able to provide information about these variables? It looks like you added them to the example file referenced in the support ticket a while ago.
Greetings, VM deployment openshift_cloudprovider_vsphere_template="rhel75-template" openshift_cloudprovider_vsphere_vm_network="VM Network" openshift_cloudprovider_vsphere_vm_netmask="255.255.254.0" openshift_cloudprovider_vsphere_vm_gateway="10.x.y.254" openshift_cloudprovider_vsphere_vm_dns="10.x.y.5" These are optional variables for provisioning. They aren't mentioned in the docs, because the provisioning is not supported by Red Hat and is optional. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/reference_architectures/2019/html-single/deploying_and_managing_openshift_3.11_on_a_vmware_software-defined_data_center/index#deploying_a_vsphere_vm_environment_optional The steps are covered in the 3.11 refarch appendix. All of the variables above are used when customizing the virtual machines that are deployed with the vmware_guest ansible module. Does that answer your questions?
I checked the all the jobs used to create OCP 3.11 on vsphere and I found that we don't use VM deployments. As davis phillips says `... is not supported by Red Hat and is optional.`. So I think we can remove those vars from the doc
New PR for this was sent in https://github.com/openshift/openshift-docs/pull/18569. It is now merged for 3.10 and 3.11.
