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	no yes	A boolean flag that indicates if the server TLS certificate and host name should be checked.
	kerberos boolean	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.
fetch_nested boolean		no yes	If yes the module will fetch additional data from the API. It will fetch only IDs of nested entity. It doesn't fetch multiple levels of nested attributes. Only the attributes of the current entity. User can configure to fetch other attributes of the nested entities by specifying `nested_attributes`.
filter_keys list / elements=string			List of attributes which should be in returned.
name string			Name of the operating system which should be returned.
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.

Notes

Note

This module returns a variable ovirt_operating_systems, which contains a list of operating systems. You need to register the result with the register keyword to use it.
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

# Look at ovirt_auth module to see how to reuse authentication:

- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_vm_os_info:
    auth: "{{ ovirt_auth }}"
  register: result
- ansible.builtin.debug:
    msg: "{{ result.ovirt_operating_systems }}"

- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_vm_os_info:
    auth: "{{ ovirt_auth }}"
    filter_keys: name,architecture
  register: result
- ansible.builtin.debug:
    msg: "{{ result.ovirt_operating_systems }}"

Return Values

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

Key	Returned	Description
ovirt_operating_systems list / elements=string	On success.	List of dictionaries describing the operating systems. Operating system attributes are mapped to dictionary keys, all operating systems attributes can be found at following url: http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/master/#types/operating_system_info.
