ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_vnic_profile module – Module to manage vNIC profile of network in oVirt/RHV

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_vnic_profile.

New in ovirt.ovirt 1.0.0

Synopsis

  • Module to manage vNIC profile of network in oVirt/RHV

Requirements

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

  • python >= 2.7

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

auth

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.

custom_properties

list / elements=dictionary

Custom properties applied to the vNIC profile.

Custom properties is a list of dictionary which can have following values:

name

string

Name of the custom property. For example: hugepages, vhost, sap_agent, etc.

regexp

string

Regular expression to set for custom property.

value

string

Value to set for custom property.

data_center

string / required

Datacenter name where network reside.

description

string

A human-readable description in plain text.

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

migratable

boolean

Marks whether pass_through NIC is migratable or not.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

name

string / required

A human-readable name in plain text.

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.

network

string / required

Name of network to which is vNIC attached.

network_filter

string

The network filter enables to filter packets send to/from the VM’s nic according to defined rules.

pass_through

string

Enables passthrough to an SR-IOV-enabled host NIC.

When enabled qos and network_filter are automatically set to None and port_mirroring to False.

When enabled and migratable not specified then migratable is enabled.

Port mirroring, QoS and network filters are not supported on passthrough profiles.

Choices:

  • "disabled"

  • "enabled"

poll_interval

integer

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

Default: 3

port_mirroring

boolean

Enables port mirroring.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

qos

string

Quality of Service attributes regulate inbound and outbound network traffic of the NIC.

state

string

Should the vNIC be absent/present.

Choices:

  • "absent"

  • "present" ← (default)

timeout

integer

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

Default: 180

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:
- name: Add vNIC
  ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_vnic_profile:
    name: myvnic
    network: mynetwork
    state: present
    data_center: datacenter

- name: Editing vNICs network_filter, custom_properties, qos
  ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_vnic_profile:
    name: myvnic
    network: mynetwork
    data_center: datacenter
    qos: myqos
    custom_properties:
      - name: SecurityGroups
        value: 9bd9bde9-39da-44a8-9541-aa39e1a81c9d
    network_filter: allow-dhcp

- name: Remove vNICs network_filter, custom_properties, qos
  ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_vnic_profile:
    name: myvnic
    network: mynetwork
    data_center: datacenter
    qos: ""
    custom_properties: ""
    network_filter: ""

- name: Dont use migratable
  ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_vnic_profile:
    name: myvnic
    network: mynetwork
    data_center: datacenter
    migratable: False
    pass_through: enabled
