Trillian leverages ESXi's ability to virtualise the VT-x features allowing the creation of VT-x enabled virtualised hosts

Basic variables: env_name [mandatory]: Environment name, single string, characters, numbers, underscore _ or dash - only. env_version [mandatory]: Environment CloudStack version (cs45, cs46, cs49, custom, etc). mgmt_os [mandatory]: Management server OS (6, 7, u, custom) hvtype [mandatory]: XenServer (x), KVM (k) or VMware (v) hv: number of hypervisors. Please note if hypervisor type is VMware the assumption is made that a single VC host is also required. This does not have to be specified anywhere. pri [mandatory]: number of primary storage pools.

Required depending on Hypervisor kvm_os:

• 6 = centos6.8
• 7 = centos7.1
• u = ubuntu14.04 xs_ver:
• xs62sp1
• xs65sp1 vmware_ver:
• 55u3
• 60u1

When not used they will default to 'custom' to avoid template issues

If you specify KVM as hypervisor (hvtype=k) you must specify the kvm_os OR set it to custom and set the template to use (kvm_template) in the extra vars (kvm_template="Ubuntu Server 14.04") The same applies to the other hypervisor types. For custom VMware you would need to specify both the vCenter and ESXi templates#

Advanced variables [all optional]: mgmt: Number of management servers to configure (default is 1) sec: number of secondary storage pools. (default is 1) db: Number of database servers to configure (default is 0 - db is on mgmt host) management_network: name of the management network guest_public_network: name of the guest+public network management_vm_hypervisor: parent CloudStack cloud hypervisor (default VMware) build_project: project name to use for the nested cloudstack build (default -NestedClouds) build_zone: parent cloud zone name build_keyboard: keyboard used for nested VMs (default UK) mgmtsrv_service_offering: parent cloud service offering used for the management server build mgmtsrv_template: parent cloud template used for the management server build dbsrv_service_offering: parent cloud service offering used for database server build dbsrv_template: parent cloud template used for database server build kvm_service_offering: parent cloud nested KVM instances service offering kvm_template: parent cloud nested KVM HV template xs_service_offering: parent cloud nested XenServer instances service offering xs_template: parent cloud nested XenServer HV template esxi_service_offering: parent cloud nested ESXi instances service offering esxi_template: parent cloud nested ESXi HV template vc_service_offering: parent cloud nested VC instances service offering vc_template: parent cloud nested VirtualCentre template baseurl_cloudstack: URL for CloudStack build repository env_db_name: environments database name env_db_ip: environments database IP address env_db_user: environments database username env_db_password: environments database password env_zonetype: basic or advanced (default) env_prihost: primary storage host fqdn or IP address env_sechost: secondary storage host fqdn or IP address env_zone_systemplate: URL to system template, overrides version variable build_marvin: whether or not to build a marvin vm for testing purposes (default is false) wait_till_setup: only return once system VMs are running. (default is no)
