|
Number of the seconds the module waits until another poll request on entity status is sent.
|
|
role_mappings
(added in 2.5) |
Mapper which maps role name between Template's OVF and the destination role this Template should be registered to, relevant when
state is registered. Role mapping is described by the following dictionary:source_name: The name of the source role.dest_name: The name of the destination role. |
|
|
seal
(added in 2.5) |
Default: "no"
|
'Sealing' is an operation that erases all machine-specific configurations from a filesystem: This includes SSH keys, UDEV rules, MAC addresses, system ID, hostname, etc. If true subsequent virtual machines made from this template will avoid configuration inheritance.
This parameter is used only when
state present. |
| state |
|
Should the template be present/absent/exported/imported/registered. When
state is registered and the unregistered template's name belongs to an already registered in engine template in the same DC then we fail to register the unregistered template. |
| storage_domain |
When
state is imported this parameter specifies the name of the destination data storage domain. When state is registered this parameter specifies the name of the data storage domain of the unregistered template. |
|
|
template_image_disk_name
(added in 2.4) |
When
state is imported and image_provider is used this parameter specifies the new name for imported disk, if omitted then image_disk name is used by default. This parameter is used only in case of importing disk image from Glance domain. |
|
| timeout |
Default: 180
|
The amount of time in seconds the module should wait for the instance to get into desired state.
|
| vm |
Name of the VM, which will be used to create template.
|
|
|
vnic_profile_mappings
(added in 2.5) |
Mapper which maps an external virtual NIC profile to one that exists in the engine when
state is registered. vnic_profile is described by the following dictionary:source_network_name: The network name of the source network.source_profile_name: The prfile name related to the source network.target_profile_id: The id of the target profile id to be mapped to in the engine. |
|
| wait |
True if the module should wait for the entity to get into desired state.
