Synopsis

Module to manage data centers in oVirt/RHV

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

python >= 2.7
ovirt-engine-sdk-python >= 4.3.0

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
auth dictionary / required			Dictionary with values needed to create HTTP/HTTPS connection to oVirt:
	ca_file string		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.
	headers dictionary		Dictionary of HTTP headers to be added to each API call.
	hostname string		A string containing the hostname of the server, usually something like `server.example.com`. Default value is set by `OVIRT_HOSTNAME` environment variable. Either `url` or `hostname` is required.
	insecure boolean	Choices: no yes	A boolean flag that indicates if the server TLS certificate and host name should be checked.
	kerberos boolean	Choices: no yes	A boolean flag indicating if Kerberos authentication should be used instead of the default basic authentication.
	password string / required		The password of the user. Default value is set by `OVIRT_PASSWORD` environment variable.
	token string		Token to be used instead of login with username/password. Default value is set by `OVIRT_TOKEN` environment variable.
	url string		A string containing the API URL of the server, usually something like `https://server.example.com/ovirt-engine/api`. Default value is set by `OVIRT_URL` environment variable. Either `url` or `hostname` is required.
	username string / required		The name of the user, something like admin@internal. Default value is set by `OVIRT_USERNAME` environment variable.
comment -			Comment of the data center.
compatibility_version -			Compatibility version of the data center.
description -			Description of the data center.
fetch_nested boolean added in 2.3		Choices: no yes	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 boolean added in 2.5		Choices: no ← yes	This parameter can be used only when removing a data center. If True data center will be forcibly removed, even though it contains some clusters. Default value is False, which means that only empty data center can be removed.
id - added in 2.8			ID of the datacenter to manage.
local boolean		Choices: no yes	True if the data center should be local, False if should be shared. Default value is set by engine.
mac_pool -			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 - / required			Name of the data center to manage.
nested_attributes list added in 2.3			Specifies list of the attributes which should be fetched from the API. This parameter apply only when `fetch_nested` is true.
poll_interval integer		Default: 3	Number of the seconds the module waits until another poll request on entity status is sent.
quota_mode -		Choices: disabled audit enabled	Quota mode of the data center. One of disabled, audit or enabled
state -		Choices: present ← absent	Should the data center be present or absent.
timeout integer		Default: 180	The amount of time in seconds the module should wait for the instance to get into desired state.
wait boolean		Choices: no yes ←	`yes` if the module should wait for the entity to get into desired state.

Notes

Note

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=4.3.0

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

# Change Datacenter Name
- ovirt_datacenter:
    id: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
    name: "new_datacenter_name"

Return Values

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

Key	Returned	Description
data_center dictionary	On success if datacenter is found.	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.
id string	On success if datacenter is found.	ID of the managed datacenter Sample: 7de90f31-222c-436c-a1ca-7e655bd5b60c
