Synopsis

  • Module to manage data centers in oVirt/RHV

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • python >= 2.7

  • ovirt-engine-sdk-python >= 4.4.0

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
auth
dictionary / required
Dictionary with values needed to create HTTP/HTTPS connection to oVirt:
ca_file
string
A PEM file containing the trusted CA certificates.
The certificate presented by the server will be verified using these CA certificates.
If ca_file parameter is not set, system wide CA certificate store is used.
Default value is set by OVIRT_CAFILE environment variable.
headers
dictionary
Dictionary of HTTP headers to be added to each API call.
hostname
string
A string containing the hostname of the server, usually something like `server.example.com`.
Default value is set by OVIRT_HOSTNAME environment variable.
Either url or hostname is required.
insecure
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
A boolean flag that indicates if the server TLS certificate and host name should be checked.
kerberos
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
A boolean flag indicating if Kerberos authentication should be used instead of the default basic authentication.
password
string / required
The password of the user.
Default value is set by OVIRT_PASSWORD environment variable.
token
string
Token to be used instead of login with username/password.
Default value is set by OVIRT_TOKEN environment variable.
url
string
A string containing the API URL of the server, usually something like `https://server.example.com/ovirt-engine/api`.
Default value is set by OVIRT_URL environment variable.
Either url or hostname is required.
username
string / required
The name of the user, something like admin@internal.
Default value is set by OVIRT_USERNAME environment variable.
comment
string
Comment of the data center.
compatibility_version
string
Compatibility version of the data center.
description
string
Description of the data center.
fetch_nested
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
If True the module will fetch additional data from the API.
It will fetch IDs of the VMs disks, snapshots, etc. User can configure to fetch other attributes of the nested entities by specifying nested_attributes.
force
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
This parameter can be used only when removing a data center. If True data center will be forcibly removed, even though it contains some clusters. Default value is False, which means that only empty data center can be removed.
id
string
ID of the datacenter to manage.
iscsi_bonds
list / elements=dictionary
List of iscsi bonds, which should be created in datacenter.
name
string
Name of the iscsi bond.
networks
list / elements=string
List of network names in bond.
storage_connections
list / elements=string
Default:
[]
List of storage_connection IDs. Used when you want to use specific storage connection instead of all in storage domain.
storage_domains
list / elements=string
Default:
[]
List of storage domain names and it will automatically get all storage_connections in the domain.
local
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
True if the data center should be local, False if should be shared.
Default value is set by engine.
mac_pool
string
MAC pool to be used by this datacenter.
IMPORTANT: This option is deprecated in oVirt/RHV 4.1. You should use mac_pool in ovirt_clusters module, as MAC pools are set per cluster since 4.1.
name
string / required
Name of the data center to manage.
nested_attributes
list / elements=string
Specifies list of the attributes which should be fetched from the API.
This parameter apply only when fetch_nested is true.
poll_interval
integer
Default:
3
Number of the seconds the module waits until another poll request on entity status is sent.
quota_mode
string
    Choices:
  • disabled
  • audit
  • enabled
Quota mode of the data center. One of disabled, audit or enabled
state
string
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
Should the data center be present or absent.
timeout
integer
Default:
180
The amount of time in seconds the module should wait for the instance to get into desired state.
wait
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
yes if the module should wait for the entity to get into desired state.

Notes

Note

  • In order to use this module you have to install oVirt Python SDK. To ensure it’s installed with correct version you can create the following task: pip: name=ovirt-engine-sdk-python version=4.4.0

Examples

# Examples don't contain auth parameter for simplicity,
# look at ovirt_auth module to see how to reuse authentication:

# Create datacenter
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_datacenter:
    name: mydatacenter
    local: True
    compatibility_version: 4.0
    quota_mode: enabled

# Remove datacenter
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_datacenter:
    state: absent
    name: mydatacenter

# Change Datacenter Name
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_datacenter:
    id: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
    name: "new_datacenter_name"

# Create datacenter with iscsi bond
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_datacenter:
    name: mydatacenter
    iscsi_bonds:
      - name: bond1
        networks:
            - network1
            - network2
        storage_domains:
            - storage1
      - name: bond2
        networks:
            - network3
        storage_connections:
            - cf780201-6a4f-43c1-a019-e65c4220ab73

# Remove all iscsi bonds
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_datacenter:
    name: mydatacenter
    iscsi_bonds: []

Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:
