IMS - Pre Migration - Windows

This task prepares the Windows virtual machine for migration. It creates a PowerShell script that:

• Restores the IP settings for network adapters that were set up manually
• Restores the drive letters for disks
• Installs and starts the RHEV-APT service if it's not already there

Prerequisites

The Windows virtual machine needs to be set up to allow Ansible connections using WinRM. Please check the Ansible documentation for help:

• Setting up a Windows Host
• Windows Remote Management

Role Variables

You can change how this task behaves using a few variables, which mainly configure the module used. By default, no variables are set.

The only variables you might want to change are those for configuring the Ansible WinRM connection. See Windows Remote Management > Inventory Options

Example Playbook

This playbook will connect the virtual machine to a Satellite 6 server and enable the rhel-7-server-rpms repository. If no details are given in extra_vars, it assumes that the repositories are already set up and will try to install the agent.
