Synopsis ¶

Retrieve information about one or more oVirt/RHV HostStorages (applicable only for block storage).

Requirements ¶

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

python >= 2.7
ovirt-engine-sdk-python >= 4.3.0

Parameters ¶

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
auth dictionary / 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.
fcp string			Dictionary with values for fibre channel storage type:
	address string		Address of the fibre channel storage server.
	lun_id string		LUN id.
	port string		Port of the fibre channel storage server.
fetch_nested boolean		Choices: no ← yes	If yes the module will fetch additional data from the API. It will fetch only IDs of nested entity. It doesn't fetch multiple levels of nested attributes. Only the attributes of the current entity. User can configure to fetch other attributes of the nested entities by specifying `nested_attributes`.
host string / required			Host to get device list from.
iscsi string			Dictionary with values for iSCSI storage type:
	address string		Address of the iSCSI storage server.
	password string		A CHAP password for logging into a target.
	portal string		The portal being used to connect with iscsi.
	target string		The target IQN for the storage device.
	username string		A CHAP user name for logging into a target.
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.

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: ansible.builtin.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:

- name: Gather information about HostStorages with specified target and address
  ovirt_host_storage_info:
    host: myhost
    iscsi:
      target: iqn.2016-08-09.domain-01:nickname
      address: 10.34.63.204
  register: result

- name: Print gathered information
  ansible.builtin.debug:
    msg: "{{ result.ovirt_host_storages }}"

Return Values ¶

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

Key	Returned	Description
ovirt_host_storages list / elements=string	On success.	List of dictionaries describing the HostStorage. HostStorage attributes are mapped to dictionary keys, all HostStorage attributes can be found at following url: http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/master/#types/host_storage.

Status ¶

This module will be removed in version 3.0.0. [deprecated]
