Hello all and thank you in advance for your help.
I have been able to work out how to add vm via a call to the vms API. I am passing in a template via the api call and that is working. I do not have a network installed in the template. My use case for that was to hit “New vm”, fill in the hostname and network and let cloud-init set the hostname. That way I can create a new vm with just a few clicks.
What I can’t seem to figure out is how to define the network interface in the add vm api call. It looks like I should have to add the network interface in a second call after creation. If I add the interface in the <initialization> section for cloud-init I seems to have a chicken and egg problem. When I add the <initialization> section and the data for the ip address, netmask, default gateway, I get; <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <fault> <detail>[Cannot add VM. Static IPv4 address is missing in cloud-init configuration.]</detail> <reason>Operation Failed</reason> </fault>
In https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-system-tests/blob/master/basic-suite-4.2/test... and https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-system-tests/blob/master/network-suite-master... are examples of how to use cloud-init.
That would seem to indicate to me that I need and interface before I can configure it. That makes sense. But how do I get an interface before I create the vm ?
If you want to use the python sdk, please find in github.com - ovirt-engine-sdk how to add a vNIC to a VM. You can add the vNIC after VM is created, but before the VM is booted the first time.
What might I be missing?
The desired result is create a vm and set the hostname and ip info via the api so that I get a fully formed vm connected to the network. That gets me to the point of being able to download build scripts to install and start puppet.
