Note

This module is part of the ovirt.ovirt collection (version 3.2.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install ovirt.ovirt. You need further requirements to be able to use this module, see Requirements for details.

To use it in a playbook, specify: ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_storage_connection.

New in ovirt.ovirt 1.0.0

Synopsis

• Module to manage storage connections in oVirt

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	Comments
address string	Address of the storage server. E.g.: myserver.mydomain.com
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.
compress boolean	Flag indicating if compression is used for connection. Choices: false true ← (default)
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	A boolean flag that indicates if the server TLS certificate and host name should be checked. Choices: false ← (default) true
kerberos boolean	A boolean flag indicating if Kerberos authentication should be used instead of the default basic authentication. Choices: false true
password string	The password of the user. Default value is set by OVIRT_PASSWORD environment variable.
timeout integer	Number of seconds to wait for response.
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	The name of the user, something like admin@internal. Default value is set by OVIRT_USERNAME environment variable.
fetch_nested boolean	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. Choices: false ← (default) true
force boolean	This parameter is relevant only when updating a connection. If true the storage domain don’t have to be in MAINTENANCE state, so the storage connection is updated. Choices: false ← (default) true
id string	Id of the storage connection to manage.
mount_options string	Option which will be passed when mounting storage.
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.
nfs_retrans integer	The number of times to retry a request before attempting further recovery actions. Range 0 to 65535.
nfs_timeout integer	The time in tenths of a second to wait for a response before retrying NFS requests. Range 0 to 65535.
nfs_version string	NFS version. One of: auto, v3, v4 or v4_1.
password string	A CHAP password for logging into a target.
path string	Path of the mount point of the storage. E.g.: /path/to/my/data
poll_interval integer	Number of the seconds the module waits until another poll request on entity status is sent. Default: 3
port integer	Port of the iSCSI storage server.
state string	Should the storage connection be present or absent. Choices: "present" ← (default) "absent"
storage string	Name of the storage domain to be used with storage connection.
target string	The target IQN for the storage device.
timeout integer	The amount of time in seconds the module should wait for the instance to get into desired state. Default: 180
type string	Storage type. For example: nfs, iscsi, etc.
username string	A CHAP username for logging into a target.
vfs_type string	Virtual File System type.
wait boolean	yes if the module should wait for the entity to get into desired state. Choices: false true ← (default)

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:

# Add new storage connection:
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_storage_connection:
    storage: myiscsi
    address: 10.34.63.199
    target: iqn.2016-08-09.domain-01:nickname
    port: 3260
    type: iscsi

# Update the existing storage connection address:
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_storage_connection:
    id: 26915c96-92ff-47e5-9e77-b581db2f2d36
    address: 10.34.63.204
    force: true

# Remove storage connection:
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_storage_connection:
    id: 26915c96-92ff-47e5-9e77-b581db2f2d36

Return Values

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

Key	Description
id string	ID of the storage connection which is managed Returned: On success if storage connection is found. Sample: "7de90f31-222c-436c-a1ca-7e655bd5b60c"
storage_connection dictionary	Dictionary of all the storage connection attributes. Storage connection attributes can be found on your oVirt instance at following url: https://ovirt.example.com/ovirt-engine/api/model#types/storage_connection. Returned: On success if storage connection is found.
