Notes
Note
- If VM is in UNASSIGNED or UNKNOWN state before any operation, the module will fail. If VM is in IMAGE_LOCKED state before any operation, we try to wait for VM to be DOWN. If VM is in SAVING_STATE state before any operation, we try to wait for VM to be SUSPENDED. If VM is in POWERING_DOWN state before any operation, we try to wait for VM to be UP or DOWN. VM can get into UP state from POWERING_DOWN state, when there is no ACPI or guest agent running inside VM, or if the shutdown operation fails. When user specify UP
state
, we always wait to VM to be in UP state in case VM is MIGRATING, REBOOTING, POWERING_UP, RESTORING_STATE, WAIT_FOR_LAUNCH. In other states we run start operation on VM. When user specify stoppedstate
, and If user passforce
parameter set to true we forcibly stop the VM in any state. If user don’t passforce
parameter, we always wait to VM to be in UP state in case VM is MIGRATING, REBOOTING, POWERING_UP, RESTORING_STATE, WAIT_FOR_LAUNCH. If VM is in PAUSED or SUSPENDED state, we start the VM. Then we gracefully shutdown the VM. When user specify suspendedstate
, we always wait to VM to be in UP state in case VM is MIGRATING, REBOOTING, POWERING_UP, RESTORING_STATE, WAIT_FOR_LAUNCH. If VM is in PAUSED or DOWN state, we start the VM. Then we suspend the VM. When user specify absentstate
, we forcibly stop the VM in any state and remove it. - In order to use this module you have to install oVirt Python SDK. To ensure it’s installed with correct version you can create the following task: pip: name=ovirt-engine-sdk-python version=4.0.0
