Synopsis

• This module manages whole lifecycle of the Virtual Machine(VM) in oVirt/RHV.
• Since VM can hold many states in oVirt/RHV, this see notes to see how the states of the VM are handled.

Requirements

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

• python >= 2.7
• ovirt-engine-sdk-python >= 4.4.0

Parameters

Notes

Examples

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