Synopsis

Module to manage clusters in oVirt/RHV

Requirements (on host that executes module)

python >= 2.7
ovirt-engine-sdk-python >= 4.0.0

Options

parameter	required	default	choices	comments
auth	yes			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`[required] - A string containing the base URL of the server, usually something like `https://server.example.com/ovirt-engine/api`. Default value is set by OVIRT_URL environment variable. `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.
ballooning	no			If True enable memory balloon optimization. Memory balloon is used to re-distribute / reclaim the host memory based on VM needs in a dynamic way.
comment	no			Comment of the cluster.
compatibility_version	no			The compatibility version of the cluster. All hosts in this cluster must support at least this compatibility version.
cpu_arch	no		x86_64 ppc64 undefined	CPU architecture of cluster.
cpu_type	no			CPU codename. For example Intel SandyBridge Family.
data_center	no			Datacenter name where cluster reside.
description	no			Description of the cluster.
fence_connectivity_threshold	no			The threshold used by `fence_skip_if_connectivity_broken`.
fence_enabled	no			If True enables fencing on the cluster. Fencing is enabled by default.
fence_skip_if_connectivity_broken	no			If True fencing will be temporarily disabled if the percentage of hosts in the cluster that are experiencing connectivity issues is greater than or equal to the defined threshold. The threshold can be specified by `fence_connectivity_threshold`.
fence_skip_if_sd_active	no			If True any hosts in the cluster that are Non Responsive and still connected to storage will not be fenced.
fetch_nested (added in 2.3)	no			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`.
gluster	no			If True, hosts in this cluster will be used as Gluster Storage server nodes, and not for running virtual machines. By default the cluster is created for virtual machine hosts.
ha_reservation	no			If True enable the oVirt/RHV to monitor cluster capacity for highly available virtual machines.
host_reason	no			If True enable an optional reason field when a host is placed into maintenance mode from the Manager, allowing the administrator to provide an explanation for the maintenance.
ksm	no			I True MoM enables to run Kernel Same-page Merging KSM when necessary and when it can yield a memory saving benefit that outweighs its CPU cost.
ksm_numa	no			If True enables KSM `ksm` for best berformance inside NUMA nodes.
mac_pool (added in 2.4)	no			MAC pool to be used by this cluster. `Note:` This is supported since oVirt version 4.1.
memory_policy	no		disabled server desktop	disabled - Disables memory page sharing. server - Sets the memory page sharing threshold to 150% of the system memory on each host. desktop - Sets the memory page sharing threshold to 200% of the system memory on each host.
migration_auto_converge	no		true false inherit	If True auto-convergence is used during live migration of virtual machines. Used only when `migration_policy` is set to legacy. Following options are supported: `true` - Override the global setting to true. `false` - Override the global setting to false. `inherit` - Use value which is set globally.
migration_bandwidth	no		auto hypervisor_default custom	The bandwidth settings define the maximum bandwidth of both outgoing and incoming migrations per host. Following bandwidth options are supported: `auto` - Bandwidth is copied from the rate limit [Mbps] setting in the data center host network QoS. `hypervisor_default` - Bandwidth is controlled by local VDSM setting on sending host. `custom` - Defined by user (in Mbps).
migration_bandwidth_limit	no			Set the custom migration bandwidth limit. This parameter is used only when `migration_bandwidth` is custom.
migration_compressed	no		true false inherit	If True compression is used during live migration of the virtual machine. Used only when `migration_policy` is set to legacy. Following options are supported: `true` - Override the global setting to true. `false` - Override the global setting to false. `inherit` - Use value which is set globally.
migration_policy	no		legacy minimal_downtime suspend_workload post_copy	A migration policy defines the conditions for live migrating virtual machines in the event of host failure. Following policies are supported: `legacy` - Legacy behavior of 3.6 version. `minimal_downtime` - Virtual machines should not experience any significant downtime. `suspend_workload` - Virtual machines may experience a more significant downtime. `post_copy` - Virtual machines should not experience any significant downtime. If the VM migration is not converging for a long time, the migration will be switched to post-copy. Added in version 2.4.
name	yes			Name of the cluster to manage.
nested_attributes (added in 2.3)	no			Specifies list of the attributes which should be fetched from the API. This parameter apply only when `fetch_nested` is true.
network	no			Management network of cluster to access cluster hosts.
poll_interval	no	3		Number of the seconds the module waits until another poll request on entity status is sent.
resilience_policy	no		do_not_migrate migrate migrate_highly_available	The resilience policy defines how the virtual machines are prioritized in the migration. Following values are supported: `do_not_migrate` - Prevents virtual machines from being migrated. `migrate` - Migrates all virtual machines in order of their defined priority. `migrate_highly_available` - Migrates only highly available virtual machines to prevent overloading other hosts.
rng_sources	no			List that specify the random number generator devices that all hosts in the cluster will use. Supported generators are: hwrng and random.
scheduling_policy	no			Name of the scheduling policy to be used for cluster.
serial_policy	no			Specify a serial number policy for the virtual machines in the cluster. Following options are supported: `vm` - Sets the virtual machine's UUID as its serial number. `host` - Sets the host's UUID as the virtual machine's serial number. `custom` - Allows you to specify a custom serial number in `serial_policy_value`.
serial_policy_value	no			Allows you to specify a custom serial number. This parameter is used only when `serial_policy` is custom.
spice_proxy	no			The proxy by which the SPICE client will connect to virtual machines. The address must be in the following format: protocol://[host]:[port]
state	no	present	present absent	Should the cluster be present or absent
switch_type	no		legacy ovs	Type of switch to be used by all networks in given cluster. Either legacy which is using linux brigde or ovs using Open vSwitch.
threads_as_cores	no			If True the exposed host threads would be treated as cores which can be utilized by virtual machines.
timeout	no	180		The amount of time in seconds the module should wait for the instance to get into desired state.
trusted_service	no			If (True) enable integration with an OpenAttestation server.
virt	no			If True, hosts in this cluster will be used to run virtual machines.
vm_reason	no			If True enable an optional reason field when a virtual machine is shut down from the Manager, allowing the administrator to provide an explanation for the maintenance.
wait	no			True if the module should wait for the entity to get into desired state.
