ovirt_host_networks - Module to manage host networks in oVirt/RHV

New in version 2.3.

Synopsis

  • Module to manage host networks 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.
bond
 no
Dictionary describing network bond:
name - Bond name.
mode - Bonding mode.
interfaces - List of interfaces to create a bond.
check
 no
If true verify connectivity between host and engine.
Network configuration changes will be rolled back if connectivity between engine and the host is lost after changing network configuration.
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.
interface
 no
Name of the network interface where logical network should be attached.
labels
 no
List of names of the network label to be assigned to bond or interface.
name
 yes
Name of the host to manage networks for.
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.
networks
 no
List of dictionary describing networks to be attached to interface or bond:
name - Name of the logical network to be assigned to bond or interface.
boot_protocol - Boot protocol one of the none, static or dhcp.
address - IP address in case of static boot protocol is used.
prefix - Routing prefix in case of static boot protocol is used.
gateway - Gateway in case of static boot protocol is used.
version - IP version. Either v4 or v6. Default is v4.
poll_interval
 no 3
Number of the seconds the module waits until another poll request on entity status is sent.
save
 no
If true network configuration will be persistent, by default they are temporary.
state
 no present
  • present
  • absent
Should the host be present/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 bond on eth0 and eth1 interface, and put 'myvlan' network on top of it:
- name: Bonds
  ovirt_host_networks:
    name: myhost
    bond:
      name: bond0
      mode: 2
      interfaces:
        - eth1
        - eth2
    networks:
      - name: myvlan
        boot_protocol: static
        address: 1.2.3.4
        prefix: 24
        gateway: 1.2.3.4
        version: v4

# Remove bond0 bond from host interfaces:
- ovirt_host_networks:
    state: absent
    name: myhost
    bond:
      name: bond0

# Assign myvlan1 and myvlan2 vlans to host eth0 interface:
- ovirt_host_networks:
    name: myhost
    interface: eth0
    networks:
      - name: myvlan1
      - name: myvlan2

# Remove myvlan2 vlan from host eth0 interface:
- ovirt_host_networks:
    state: absent
    name: myhost
    interface: eth0
    networks:
      - name: myvlan2

# Remove all networks/vlans from host eth0 interface:
- ovirt_host_networks:
    state: absent
    name: myhost
    interface: eth0

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 host NIC which is managed
 On success if host NIC is found. str 7de90f31-222c-436c-a1ca-7e655bd5b60c
host_nic
Dictionary of all the host NIC attributes. Host NIC attributes can be found on your oVirt/RHV instance at following url: http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/master/#types/host_nic.
 On success if host NIC is found. dict

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=4.0.0

Status

This module is flagged as preview which means that it is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface.
