Synopsis

Module to manage external providers 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.
authentication_keys - added in 2.6		Default: []	List of authentication keys. Each key is represented by dict like {'uuid': 'our-uuid', 'value': 'YourSecretValue=='} When you will not pass these keys and there are already some of them defined in the system they will be removed. Applicable for os_volume.
authentication_url -			Keystone authentication URL of the openstack provider. Applicable for those types: os_image, os_volume and network. aliases: auth_url
data_center -			Name of the data center where provider should be attached. Applicable for those type: os_volume.
description -			Description of the external provider.
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`.
name -			Name of the external provider to manage.
nested_attributes list			Specifies list of the attributes which should be fetched from the API. This parameter apply only when `fetch_nested` is true.
network_type -		Choices: external ← neutron Default: ["external"]	Type of the external network provider either external (for example OVN) or neutron. Applicable if `type` is network.
password -			Password of the user specified in `username` parameter. Applicable for all types.
poll_interval integer		Default: 3	Number of the seconds the module waits until another poll request on entity status is sent.
read_only boolean		Choices: no yes	Specify if the network should be read only. Applicable if `type` is network.
state -		Choices: present ← absent	Should the external be present or absent When you are using absent for os_volume, you need to make sure that SD is not attached to the data center!
tenant_name -			Name of the tenant. Applicable for those types: os_image, os_volume and network. aliases: tenant
timeout integer		Default: 180	The amount of time in seconds the module should wait for the instance to get into desired state.
type -		Choices: os_image network os_volume foreman	Type of the external provider.
url -			URL where external provider is hosted. Applicable for those types: os_image, os_volume, network and foreman.
username -			Username to be used for login to external provider. Applicable for all types.
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:

# Add image external provider:
- ovirt_external_provider:
    name: image_provider
    type: os_image
    url: http://1.2.3.4:9292
    username: admin
    password: 123456
    tenant: admin
    auth_url: http://1.2.3.4:35357/v2.0

# Add volume external provider:
- ovirt_external_provider:
    name: image_provider
    type: os_volume
    url: http://1.2.3.4:9292
    username: admin
    password: 123456
    tenant: admin
    auth_url: http://1.2.3.4:5000/v2.0
    authentication_keys:
      -
        uuid: "1234567-a1234-12a3-a234-123abc45678"
        value: "ABCD00000000111111222333445w=="

# Add foreman provider:
- ovirt_external_provider:
    name: foreman_provider
    type: foreman
    url: https://foreman.example.com
    username: admin
    password: 123456

# Add external network provider for OVN:
- ovirt_external_provider:
    name: ovn_provider
    type: network
    network_type: external
    url: http://1.2.3.4:9696

# Remove image external provider:
- ovirt_external_provider:
    state: absent
    name: image_provider
    type: os_image
