Re: [ovirt-users] ovirt python sdk and starting stateless vm

Hello,
I am testing some from scratch deployment so I created a stateless vm
and wrote small python script to shutdown and start the vm again (to
revert vm state to starting point).
http://pastebin.com/b5yTFEkN
problem is that after stopping the vm there is a running operation of
snapshot removal and when script try to start the vm it fails with
Failed to Start VM:
status: 409
reason: Conflict
detail: Cannot run VM. Related operation is currently in progress.
Please try again later.
Is there a cleaner way than checking status and looping or waiting some
time to end of this operation? (desclaimer: I am new to python so please
don't hit me :-)
Unfortunatelly, no. You always have to poll the API to check the status
of the operation.
Just for info, we have new Python SDK version 4[1]. Python SDK version
3 will be removed someday in future. So you would have to migrate your
scripts, so maybe better to write it in version 4 now, then rewrite it
later.
And also, if you don't know Python, but you know Ansible, you can use
Ansible VMs module[2].
