Re: [Users] Problems using the PythonSDK

Hello everyone! I´m almost done with Python for now. But the last thing I sitll can´t seem to get any hang on is how to change the name of a VM´s disk:

>>> from ovirtsdk.api import API >>> from ovirtsdk.xml import params >>> api = API(url='https://${OVIRT}:443 <https://storm.slu.se:443>';, ca_file='/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/ca.pem', username='admin@internal <mailto:'admin@internal>', password='letmein!') >>> VM_NAME = 'FedoraTest' >>> DISK_NAME = '%s_Disk1' % (VM_NAME) >>> vm = api.vms.get(VM_NAME) >>> vmdisk = vm.disks.list()[0] >>> vmdisk.alias = 'foobar' >>> vmdisk.name = 'foobar' >>> vmdisk.update() <ovirtsdk.infrastructure.brokers.VMDisk object at 0x25d7ad0> But the name/alias/whatev never changes... Could you please give me an exact, and working example of how to change the name of a VM´s disk. This is the last simple thing I would like to accomplish before sharing a little something back with y´all(teaser, teaser). /Karli sön 2013-05-26 klockan 02:48 -0400 skrev Ilia Meerovich: > Hi, > > Lets follow http://www.ovirt.org/Python-sdk > > In [1]: from ovirtsdk.xml import params > > In [2]: from ovirtsdk.api import API > > In [3]: > > In [4]: api = API(***, ***, ***) > > In [5]: user_name = "***" > > In [6]: domain = "***.***.***.redhat.com" > > In [7]: user_domain = params.Domain(name=domain) > > In [8]: user_name = &quot;{0}(a){1}&quot;.format(user_name, domain) > # creating user > In [9]: new_user = params.User(domain=user_domain, user_name=user_name) > # adding user to users resource > In [10]: user = api.users.add(new_user) > # adding role to user > In [11]: user.roles.add(api.roles.get('UserRole')) > Out[11]: <ovirtsdk.infrastructure.brokers.UserRole object at 0x30c7590> > > Thanks > Ilia > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Karli Sjöberg" <Karli.Sjoberg(a)slu.se <mailto:Karli.Sjoberg@slu.se>> > To: "Ilia Meerovich" <imeerovi(a)redhat.com <mailto:imeerovi@redhat.com>> > Cc: "Michael Pasternak" <mpastern(a)redhat.com <mailto:mpastern@redhat.com>>, "users" <users(a)ovirt.org <mailto:users@ovirt.org>>, "Elena Dolinin" <edolinin(a)redhat.com <mailto:edolinin@redhat.com>> > Sent: Friday, May 24, 2013 8:04:43 AM > Subject: Re: [Users] Problems using the PythonSDK > > tor 2013-05-23 klockan 08:53 -0400 skrev Ilia Meerovich: > > It should be like: > > from ovirtsdk.xml import params > from ovirtsdk.api import API > > api = API('*', '*', '*') > vm = api.vms.list()[0] > user = api.users.list()[1] > role = api.roles.list()[1] > permit = params.Permission() > permit.set_role(role) > permit.set_vm(vm) > user.permissions.add(permit) > Thank you very much, I´m going to test this out today!
