ovirt_host_network – Module to manage host networks in oVirt/RHV

New in version 2.3.


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 >= 4.3.0

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

  • 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.

bond

-

Dictionary describing network bond:

name - Bond name.

mode - Bonding mode.

options - Bonding options.

interfaces - List of interfaces to create a bond.

check

boolean

  • 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

added in 2.3

  • 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

-

Name of the network interface where logical network should be attached.

labels

-

List of names of the network label to be assigned to bond or interface.

name

- / required

Name of the host to manage networks for.


aliases: host

nested_attributes

list

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.

networks

-

List of dictionary describing networks to be attached to interface or bond:

name - Name of the logical network to be assigned to bond or interface.

boot_protocol - Boot protocol one of the none, static or dhcp.

address - IP address in case of static boot protocol is used.

netmask - Subnet mask in case of static boot protocol is used.

gateway - Gateway in case of static boot protocol is used.

version - 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

  • no
  • yes

If true network configuration will be persistent, otherwise it is temporary. Default true since Ansible 2.8.

state

-

  • present

  • absent

Should the host be present/absent.

sync_networks

boolean

added in 2.8

  • 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

  • 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:

# 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_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, specifiyng both mode and miimon:
- name: Bonds
  ovirt_host_network:
    name: myhost
    bond:
      name: bond0
      mode: 1
      options:
        miimon: 200
      interfaces:
        - eth1
        - eth2

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

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

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

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

Return Values

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