Not sure I understand. You can use Ansible module to list VMs, you
can use ovirt_vms _facts[1] module.
For example to get only stopped VMs, you can use following:
- name: Get stopped VMs
ovirt_vms_facts:
auth:
url:
https://ovirt.example.com/ovirt-engine/api
username: admin@internal
password: password
ca_file: /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/ca.pem
pattern: "status = down"
I want a list of vms sorted by any possible attributes, i.e. sorted by
datacenter or cluster, not only by status.
- For example, ovirt_vms_facts doesn't allow to get the datacenter the
vm belongs to , and the pattern filter doesn't return a list of vms as
expected:
- hosts: localhost
connection: local
tasks:
- name: Get stopped VMs
ovirt_vms_facts:
auth:
url:
https://acore.v100.abes.fr/ovirt-engine/api
username: admin@internal
password: ovirt123
insecure: true
pattern: name=centos* and cluster=west
- debug:
var: ovirt_vms
- shell: echo "{{ ovirt_vms.name }}"
Ok, I understand, now.
You have few options here.
If you want for example only VMs from datacenter 'X', you can use following:
- hosts: localhost
connection: local
tasks:
- name: Get VMs from datacenter X
ovirt_vms_facts:
pattern: datacenter=X
auth:
url:
https://acore.v100.abes.fr/ovirt-engine/api
username: admin@internal
password: ovirt123
insecure: true
- debug:
msg: "{{ ovirt_vms | map(attribute='name') | list }}"
How can I successfully display this list of vms like described here :
name description returned type sample
ovirt_vms List of dictionaries describing the VMs. VM attribues are
mapped to dictionary keys, all VMs attributes can be found at following
url:
https://ovirt.example.com/ovirt-engine/api/model#types/vm. On
success. list
- About the python SDK:
list_vms.py could be what I expect, but vm.datacenter_name doesn't exist
Yes, because the 'data_center' parameter isn't part of the VM type. Take a
look here[1],
you will find there all attributes the VM has. As you can see there is no
'datacenter', but
there is a 'cluster', but as said in documentation, it's just a reference
to the cluster. That
means that it contains the ID of the cluster and the 'href' to the cluster,
so you can get
the cluster object by following that reference using this code:
vm_cluster = connection.follow_link(vm.cluster)
print vm_cluster.name
# Same for datacenter:
vm_dc = connection.follow_link(vm_cluster.data_center)
print vm_dc.name
What you need to understand is, what is the difference between the 'full'
object and the reference to the object. It's good to take a look at the XML
output of the API and learn to read the API specification documentation,
when working with oVirt Ansible and Python SDK.
