Requirements ¶

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

python >= 2.7
ovirt-engine-sdk-python >= 4.2.4

Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
auth required		Dictionary with values needed to create HTTP/HTTPS connection to oVirt: `username`[required] - The name of the user, something like [email protected]. 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`- 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. `hostname` - 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. `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 bool (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`.
nested_attributes (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.
pattern		Search term which is accepted by oVirt/RHV search backend. For example to search Disk X from storage Y use following pattern: name=X and storage.name=Y

Notes ¶

Note

This module creates a new top-level ovirt_disks fact, which contains a list of disks.
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=4.2.4

Examples ¶

# Examples don't contain auth parameter for simplicity,
# look at ovirt_auth module to see how to reuse authentication:

# Gather facts about all Disks which names start with C(centos)
- ovirt_disk_facts:
    pattern: name=centos*
- debug:
    var: ovirt_disks

Return Values ¶

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

Key	Returned	Description
ovirt_disks list	On success.	List of dictionaries describing the Disks. Disk attributes are mapped to dictionary keys, all Disks attributes can be found at following url: http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/master/#types/disk.
