rhevm - RHEV/oVirt automation
New in version 2.2.
Synopsis
- This module only supports oVirt/RHEV version 3. A newer module ovirt_vms supports oVirt/RHV version 4.
- Allows you to create/remove/update or powermanage virtual machines on a RHEV/oVirt platform.
Requirements (on host that executes module)
- ovirtsdk
