name
- / required
Name of the MAC pool to manage.
nested_attributes
list

Specifies list of the attributes which should be fetched from the API.
This parameter apply only when fetch_nested is true.
poll_interval
integer

For example: 00:1a:4a:16:01:51,00:1a:4a:16:01:61
state
-
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
Should the mac pool 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

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=4.3.0

Examples

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

# Create MAC pool:
- ovirt_mac_pool:
    name: mymacpool
    allow_duplicates: false
    ranges:
      - 00:1a:4a:16:01:51,00:1a:4a:16:01:61
      - 00:1a:4a:16:02:51,00:1a:4a:16:02:61

# Remove MAC pool:
- ovirt_mac_pool:
    state: absent
    name: mymacpool

# Change MAC pool Name
- ovirt_nic:
    id: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
    name: "new_mac_pool_name"

Return Values

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

Key Returned Description
id
string
 On success if MAC pool is found.
ID of the MAC pool which is managed

Sample:
7de90f31-222c-436c-a1ca-7e655bd5b60c
template
dictionary
 On success if MAC pool is found.
Dictionary of all the MAC pool attributes. MAC pool attributes can be found on your oVirt/RHV instance at following url: http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/master/#types/mac_pool.
