Synopsis

  • Module to manage host networks in oVirt/RHV.

Requirements

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

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

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.

mode
string
Bonding mode.
name
string
Bond name.
options
string
Bonding options.
check
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
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
boolean
    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.
interface
string
Name of the network interface where logical network should be attached.
labels
list / elements=string
List of names of the network label to be assigned to bond or interface.
name
string / required
Name of the host to manage networks for.

aliases: host
nested_attributes
list / elements=string
Specifies list of the attributes which should be fetched from the API.
This parameter apply only when fetch_nested is true.
networks
list / elements=dictionary
List of dictionary describing networks to be attached to interface or bond:
address
string
IP address in case of static boot protocol is used.
boot_protocol
string
    Choices:
  • none
  • static
  • dhcp
Boot protocol.
custom_properties
string
Custom properties applied to the host network.
Custom properties is a list of dictionary which can have following values.
name
string
Name of custom property.
value
string
Value of custom property.
gateway
string
Gateway in case of static boot protocol is used.
name
string
Name of the logical network to be assigned to bond or interface.
netmask
string
Subnet mask in case of static boot protocol is used.
version
string
IP version. Either v4 or v6. Default is v4.
poll_interval
integer
Default:
3
Number of the seconds the module waits until another poll request on entity status is sent.
save
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
If true network configuration will be persistent, otherwise it is temporary. Default true since Ansible 2.8.
state
string
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
Should the host be present/absent.
sync_networks
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
If true all networks will be synchronized before modification
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=4.4.0

Examples

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

# In all examples the durability of the configuration created is dependent on the 'save' option value:

# Create bond on eth0 and eth1 interface, and put 'myvlan' network on top of it and persist the new configuration:
- name: Bonds
  ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_host_network:
    name: myhost
    save: yes
    bond:
      name: bond0
      mode: 2
      interfaces:
        - eth1
        - eth2
    networks:
      - name: myvlan
        boot_protocol: static
        address: 1.2.3.4
        netmask: 255.255.255.0
        gateway: 1.2.3.4
        version: v4

# Create bond on eth1 and eth2 interface, specifying both mode and miimon:
- name: Bonds
  ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_host_network:
    name: myhost
    bond:
      name: bond0
      mode: 1
      options:
        miimon: 200
      interfaces:
        - eth1
        - eth2

# Remove bond0 bond from host interfaces:
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_host_network:
    state: absent
    name: myhost
    bond:
      name: bond0

# Assign myvlan1 and myvlan2 vlans to host eth0 interface:
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_host_network:
    name: myhost
    interface: eth0
    networks:
      - name: myvlan1
      - name: myvlan2

# Remove myvlan2 vlan from host eth0 interface:
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_host_network:
    state: absent
    name: myhost
    interface: eth0
    networks:
      - name: myvlan2

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

# Add custom_properties to network:
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_host_network:
    name: myhost
    interface: eth0
    networks:
      - name: myvlan1
        custom_properties:
          - name: bridge_opts
            value: gc_timer=10

Return Values

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