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

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

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.

assigned

boolean

true if the network should be assigned to cluster. Default is true.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

default_route

boolean

true if the default gateway and the DNS resolver configuration of the host will be taken from this network.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

display

boolean

true if the network should marked as display network.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

gluster

boolean

true if the network should marked as gluster network.

Choices:

At first it tries to import the network when not found it will create network in external provider.

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

id

string

ID of the network to manage.

label

string

Name of the label to assign to the network.

mtu

integer

Maximum transmission unit (MTU) of the network.

name

string / required

Name of the network 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

Number of the seconds the module waits until another poll request on entity status is sent.

Default: 3

state

string

Should the network be present or absent

Choices:

  • "present" ← (default)

  • "absent"

timeout

integer

The amount of time in seconds the module should wait for the instance to get into desired state.

Default: 180

vlan_tag

integer

Specify VLAN tag.

NOTE - To remove the vlan_tag use -1.

vm_network

boolean

If True network will be marked as network for VM.

VM network carries traffic relevant to the virtual machine.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

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:

# Create network
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_network:
    data_center: mydatacenter
    name: mynetwork
    vlan_tag: 10
    vm_network: true

# Remove network
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_network:
    state: absent
    name: mynetwork

# Change Network Name
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_network:
    id: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
    name: "new_network_name"
    data_center: mydatacenter

# Add network from external provider
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_network:
    data_center: mydatacenter
    name: mynetwork
    external_provider: ovirt-provider-ovn

# Remove vlan_tag
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_network:
    data_center: mydatacenter
    name: mynetwork
    vlan_tag: -1

Return Values

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