|
||||
- When the operator asks to inventory or show the contents of `AutomatedTest-VMBootImg-Gold` and `AutomatedTest-VMBootImg-Gold-2`, return hostname-only VM lists unless the operator explicitly asks for more detail.
|
||||
- When the operator provides an explicit VM list, check vCenter placement for every requested VM before choosing the config file.
|
||||
- Before presenting any ATVM run commands for an explicit VM-list request, tell the operator that the next step is a live vCenter placement check for the requested VMs and that the result will determine whether the run must use `gold` or `gold-2`.
|
||||
- For vCenter inspection and placement checks, prefer `govc` and raw vCenter REST calls when they are available before reaching for alternate wrappers.
|
||||
- For `govc`-based placement checks, use `govc vm.info -json <vm>` and parse the lowercase JSON keys such as `virtualMachines` and `datastore`.
|
||||
- Resolve each returned datastore managed-object reference to a datastore name with `govc object.collect -s <datastore-ref> name` before deciding between `gold` and `gold-2`.
|
||||
- Ignore non-boot helper datastores such as install ISO attachments when applying the `gold` vs `gold-2` rule; base the family decision on the ATVM boot datastore membership.
