ovirt_datacenter - Module to manage data centers in oVirt/RHV

New in version 2.3.

Synopsis

  • Module to manage data centers 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.
comment
no
Comment of the data center.
compatibility_version
no
Compatibility version of the data center.
description
no
Description of the data center.
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.
local
no
True if the data center should be local, False if should be shared.
Default value is set by engine.
mac_pool
no
MAC pool to be used by this datacenter.
IMPORTANT: This option is deprecated in oVirt/RHV 4.1. You should use mac_pool in ovirt_clusters module, as MAC pools are set per cluster since 4.1.
name
yes
Name of the data center 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.
poll_interval
no 3
Number of the seconds the module waits until another poll request on entity status is sent.
quota_mode
no
  • disabled
  • audit
  • enabled
Quota mode of the data center. One of disabled, audit or enabled
state
no present
  • present
  • absent
Should the data center be present or absent
timeout
no 180
The amount of time in seconds the module should wait for the instance to get into desired state.
wait
no
True if the module should wait for the entity to get into desired state.

Examples

# Examples don't contain auth parameter for simplicity,
# look at ovirt_auth module to see how to reuse authentication:

# Create datacenter
- ovirt_datacenter:
    name: mydatacenter
    local: True
    compatibility_version: 4.0
    quota_mode: enabled

# Remove datacenter
- ovirt_datacenter:
    state: absent
    name: mydatacenter

Return Values

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

name description returned type sample
data_center
Dictionary of all the datacenter attributes. Datacenter attributes can be found on your oVirt/RHV instance at following url: http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/master/#types/datacenter.
On success if datacenter is found. dict
id
ID of the managed datacenter
On success if datacenter is found. str 7de90f31-222c-436c-a1ca-7e655bd5b60c
