ovirt_storage_connections - Module to manage storage connections in oVirt
New in version 2.4.
Synopsis
- Module to manage storage connections in oVirt
Requirements (on host that executes module)
- python >= 2.7
- ovirt-engine-sdk-python >= 4.0.0
Options
| parameter | required | default | choices | comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| address | no | Address of the storage server. E.g.: myserver.mydomain.com | ||
| 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. | ||
| 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. | ||
| force | no | This parameter is releven only when updating a connection. If true the storage domain don't have to be in MAINTENANCE state, so the storage connection is updated. | ||
| id | no | Id of the storage connection to manage. | ||
| mount_options | no | Option which will be passed when mounting storage. | ||
| 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. | ||
| nfs_retrans | no | The number of times to retry a request before attempting further recovery actions. Range 0 to 65535. | ||
| nfs_timeout | no | The time in tenths of a second to wait for a response before retrying NFS requests. Range 0 to 65535. | ||
| nfs_version | no | NFS version. One of: auto, v3, v4 or v4_1. | ||
| password | no | A CHAP password for logging into a target. | ||
| path | no | Path of the mount point of the storage. E.g.: /path/to/my/data | ||
| poll_interval | no | 3 | Number of the seconds the module waits until another poll request on entity status is sent. | |
| port | no | Port of the iSCSI storage server. | ||
| state | no | present |
| Should the storage connection be present or absent. |
| storage | no | Name of the storage domain to be used with storage connection. | ||
| target | no | The target IQN for the storage device. | ||
| timeout | no | 180 | The amount of time in seconds the module should wait for the instance to get into desired state. | |
| type | no | Storage type. For example: nfs, iscsi, etc. | ||
| username | no | A CHAP username for logging into a target. | ||
| vfs_type | no | Virtual File System type. | ||
| 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:
# Add new storage connection:
- ovirt_storage_connections:
storage: myiscsi
address: 10.34.63.199
target: iqn.2016-08-09.domain-01:nickname
port: 3260
type: iscsi
# Update the existing storage connection address:
- ovirt_storage_connections:
id: 26915c96-92ff-47e5-9e77-b581db2f2d36
address: 10.34.63.204
force: true
# Remove storage connection:
- ovirt_storage_connections:
id: 26915c96-92ff-47e5-9e77-b581db2f2d36
Return Values
Common return values are documented here Return Values, the following are the fields unique to this module:
| name | description | returned | type | sample |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| id | ID of the storage connection which is managed | On success if storage connection is found. | string | 7de90f31-222c-436c-a1ca-7e655bd5b60c |
| storage_connection | Dictionary of all the storage connection attributes. Storage connection attributes can be found on your oVirt instance at following url: https://ovirt.example.com/ovirt-engine/api/model#types/storage_connection. | On success if storage connection is found. | dict |
Notes
