Synopsis ¶

Module to manage hosts in oVirt/RHV

Aliases: ovirt_hosts

Requirements ¶

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

python >= 2.7
ovirt-engine-sdk-python >= 4.2.4

Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
activate boolean added in 2.4	Choices: no yes ←	If `state` is present activate the host. This parameter is good to disable, when you don't want to change the state of host when using present `state`.
address -		Host address. It can be either FQDN (preferred) or IP address.
auth - / required		Dictionary with values needed to create HTTP/HTTPS connection to oVirt: `username`[required] - The name of the user, something like admin@internal. Default value is set by OVIRT_USERNAME environment variable. `password`[required] - The password of the user. Default value is set by OVIRT_PASSWORD environment variable. `url` - 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. `hostname` - 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. `token` - Token to be used instead of login with username/password. Default value is set by OVIRT_TOKEN environment variable. `insecure` - A boolean flag that indicates if the server TLS certificate and host name should be checked. `ca_file` - 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. `kerberos` - A boolean flag indicating if Kerberos authentication should be used instead of the default basic authentication. `headers` - Dictionary of HTTP headers to be added to each API call.
check_upgrade boolean added in 2.4	Choices: no yes ←	If true and `state` is upgraded run check for upgrade action before executing upgrade action.
cluster -		Name of the cluster, where host should be created.
comment -		Description of the host.
fetch_nested boolean added in 2.3	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	If True host will be forcibly moved to desired state.
hosted_engine -	Choices: deploy undeploy	If deploy it means this host should deploy also hosted engine components. If undeploy it means this host should un-deploy hosted engine components and this host will not function as part of the High Availability cluster.
iscsi - added in 2.4		If `state` is iscsidiscover it means that the iscsi attribute is being used to discover targets If `state` is iscsilogin it means that the iscsi attribute is being used to login to the specified targets passed as part of the iscsi attribute
kdump_integration -	Choices: enabled disabled	Specify if host will have enabled Kdump integration.
kernel_params -		List of kernel boot parameters. Following are most common kernel parameters used for host: Hostdev Passthrough & SR-IOV: intel_iommu=on Nested Virtualization: kvm-intel.nested=1 Unsafe Interrupts: vfio_iommu_type1.allow_unsafe_interrupts=1 PCI Reallocation: pci=realloc `Note:` Modifying kernel boot parameters settings can lead to a host boot failure. Please consult the product documentation before doing any changes. Kernel boot parameters changes require host deploy and restart. The host needs to be reinstalled successfully and then to be rebooted for kernel boot parameters to be applied.
name - / required		Name of the host to manage.
nested_attributes - added in 2.3		Specifies list of the attributes which should be fetched from the API. This parameter apply only when `fetch_nested` is true.
override_display boolean	Choices: no yes	Override the display address of all VMs on this host with specified address.
override_iptables boolean	Choices: no yes	If True host iptables will be overridden by host deploy script. Note that `override_iptables` is false by default in oVirt/RHV.
password -		Password of the root. It's required in case `public_key` is set to False.
poll_interval -	Default: 3	Number of the seconds the module waits until another poll request on entity status is sent.
power_management_enabled boolean added in 2.4	Choices: no yes	Enable or disable power management of the host. For more comprehensive setup of PM use `ovirt_host_pm` module.
public_key boolean	Choices: no ← yes	True if the public key should be used to authenticate to host. It's required in case `password` is not set. aliases: ssh_public_key
reboot_after_upgrade boolean added in 2.6	Choices: no yes ←	If true and `state` is upgraded reboot host after successful upgrade.
spm_priority -		SPM priority of the host. Integer value from 1 to 10, where higher number means higher priority.
state -	Choices: present ← absent maintenance upgraded started restarted stopped reinstalled iscsidiscover iscsilogin	State which should a host to be in after successful completion. iscsilogin and iscsidiscover are supported since version 2.4.
timeout -	Default: 600	The amount of time in seconds the module should wait for the host to get into desired state.
wait boolean	Choices: no yes ←	True 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=4.2.4

Examples ¶

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

# Add host with username/password supporting SR-IOV.
# Note that override_iptables is false by default in oVirt/RHV:
- ovirt_host:
    cluster: Default
    name: myhost
    address: 10.34.61.145
    password: secret
    override_iptables: true
    kernel_params:
      - intel_iommu=on

# Add host using public key
- ovirt_host:
    public_key: true
    cluster: Default
    name: myhost2
    address: 10.34.61.145
    override_iptables: true

# Deploy hosted engine host
- ovirt_host:
    cluster: Default
    name: myhost2
    password: secret
    address: 10.34.61.145
    override_iptables: true
    hosted_engine: deploy

# Maintenance
- ovirt_host:
    state: maintenance
    name: myhost

# Restart host using power management:
- ovirt_host:
    state: restarted
    name: myhost

# Upgrade host
- ovirt_host:
    state: upgraded
    name: myhost

# discover iscsi targets
- ovirt_host:
    state: iscsidiscover
    name: myhost
    iscsi:
      username: iscsi_user
      password: secret
      address: 10.34.61.145
      port: 3260


# login to iscsi targets
- ovirt_host:
    state: iscsilogin
    name: myhost
    iscsi:
      username: iscsi_user
      password: secret
      address: 10.34.61.145
      target: "iqn.2015-07.com.mlipchuk2.redhat:444"
      port: 3260


# Reinstall host using public key
- ovirt_host:
    state: reinstalled
    name: myhost
    public_key: true

# Remove host
- ovirt_host:
    state: absent
    name: myhost
    force: True

Return Values ¶

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