NAME

DESCRIPTION

Use the WorkRequest <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/api/#/en/vmware/20200501/WorkRequest/> operations to track the creation of the ESXi host.

USAGE

oci ocvs esxi-host create [OPTIONS]

REQUIRED PARAMETERS

The OCID <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/General/Concepts/identifiers.htm> of the SDDC to add the ESXi host to.

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

The availability domain to create the ESXi host in. If keep empty, for AD-specific SDDC, new ESXi host will be created in the same availability domain; for multi-AD SDDC, new ESXi host will be auto assigned to the next availability domain following evenly distribution strategy.

The billing option currently used by the ESXi host. ListSupportedSkus <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/api/#/en/vmware/20200501/SupportedSkuSummary/ListSupportedSkus>.

Accepted values are:

HOUR, MONTH, ONE_YEAR, THREE_YEARS

Defined tags for this resource. Each key is predefined and scoped to a namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/General/Concepts/resourcetags.htm>.

Example:

{"Operations": {"CostCenter": "42"}}

This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

A descriptive name for the ESXi host. It’s changeable. Esxi Host name requirements are 1-16 character length limit, Must start with a letter, Must be English letters, numbers, - only, No repeating hyphens, Must be unique within the SDDC.

If this attribute is not specified, the SDDC’s instanceDisplayNamePrefix attribute is used to name and incrementally number the ESXi host. For example, if you’re creating the fourth ESXi host in the SDDC, and instanceDisplayNamePrefix is MySDDC, the host’s display name is MySDDC-4.

Avoid entering confidential information.

The OCID <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/General/Concepts/identifiers.htm> of the ESXi host that is failed. This is an optional parameter. If this parameter is specified, a new ESXi host will be created to replace the failed one, and the failedEsxiHostId field will be udpated in the newly created Esxi host.

Free-form tags for this resource. Each tag is a simple key-value pair with no predefined name, type, or namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/Content/General/Concepts/resourcetags.htm>.

Example:

{"Department": "Finance"}

This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

Provide input to this command as a JSON document from a file using the file://path-to/file syntax.

The --generate-full-command-json-input option can be used to generate a sample json file to be used with this command option. The key names are pre-populated and match the command option names (converted to camelCase format, e.g. compartment-id –> compartmentId), while the values of the keys need to be populated by the user before using the sample file as an input to this command. For any command option that accepts multiple values, the value of the key can be a JSON array.

Options can still be provided on the command line. If an option exists in both the JSON document and the command line then the command line specified value will be used.

For examples on usage of this option, please see our “using CLI with advanced JSON options” link: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/cliusing.htm#AdvancedJSONOptions

The OCPU count of the ESXi host.

The compute shape name of the ESXi host. ListSupportedHostShapes <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/api/#/en/vmware/20200501/SupportedHostShapes/ListSupportedHostShapes>.

The maximum time to wait for the work request to reach the state defined by --wait-for-state. Defaults to 1200 seconds.

The billing option to switch to after the existing billing cycle ends. If nextSku is null or empty, currentSku continues to the next billing cycle. ListSupportedSkus <https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/api/#/en/vmware/20200501/SupportedSkuSummary/ListSupportedSkus>.

Accepted values are:

HOUR, MONTH, ONE_YEAR, THREE_YEARS

This operation asynchronously creates, modifies or deletes a resource and uses a work request to track the progress of the operation. Specify this option to perform the action and then wait until the work request reaches a certain state. Multiple states can be specified, returning on the first state. For example, --wait-for-state SUCCEEDED --wait-for-state FAILED would return on whichever lifecycle state is reached first. If timeout is reached, a return code of 2 is returned. For any other error, a return code of 1 is returned.

Accepted values are:

ACCEPTED, CANCELED, CANCELING, FAILED, IN_PROGRESS, SUCCEEDED

Check every --wait-interval-seconds to see whether the work request to see if it has reached the state defined by --wait-for-state. Defaults to 30 seconds.

GLOBAL PARAMETERS

--auth-purpose, --auth, --cert-bundle, --cli-auto-prompt, --cli-rc-file, --config-file, --debug, --defaults-file, --endpoint, --generate-full-command-json-input, --generate-param-json-input, --help, --latest-version, --max-retries, --no-retry, --opc-client-request-id, --opc-request-id, --output, --profile, --query, --raw-output, --region, --release-info, --request-id, --version, -?, -d, -h, -i, -v

EXAMPLES

Please note this sample will only work in the POSIX-compliant bash-like shell. You need to set up the OCI configuration <https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/cliinstall.htm#configfile> and appropriate security policies <https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Identity/Concepts/policygetstarted.htm> before trying the examples.
