File

The vsphere.File resource can be used to upload files (such as virtual disk files) from the host machine that this provider is running on to a target datastore. The resource can also be used to copy files between datastores, or from one location to another on the same datastore.

Updates to destination parameters such as datacenter, datastore, or destination_file will move the managed file a new destination based on the values of the new settings. If any source parameter is changed, such as source_datastore, source_datacenter or source_file), the resource will be re-created. Depending on if destination parameters are being changed as well, this may result in the destination file either being overwritten or deleted at the old location.

Example Usage

Uploading a file

using Pulumi;
using VSphere = Pulumi.VSphere;

class MyStack : Stack
{
    public MyStack()
    {
        var ubuntuDiskUpload = new VSphere.File("ubuntuDiskUpload", new VSphere.FileArgs
        {
            Datacenter = "my_datacenter",
            Datastore = "local",
            DestinationFile = "/my_path/disks/custom_ubuntu.vmdk",
            SourceFile = "/home/ubuntu/my_disks/custom_ubuntu.vmdk",
        });
    }

}

package main

import (
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi-vsphere/sdk/v4/go/vsphere"
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi"
)

func main() {
	pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
		_, err := vsphere.NewFile(ctx, "ubuntuDiskUpload", &vsphere.FileArgs{
			Datacenter:      pulumi.String("my_datacenter"),
			Datastore:       pulumi.String("local"),
			DestinationFile: pulumi.String("/my_path/disks/custom_ubuntu.vmdk"),
			SourceFile:      pulumi.String("/home/ubuntu/my_disks/custom_ubuntu.vmdk"),
		})
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
		return nil
	})
}
