Dear oVIrt,

Happy to report I have deployed my first python vdsm_hook which removes A, AAAA, TXT records of VM each time after_vm_destroy event is triggered, and it works fine.

This was required to be able to quickly redploy/rebuild VMs using same hostname.

Issue I am observing/just discovered now is:

Since live_migration of VM guest is considered a destruction from Host perspective, DNS records get deleted and VM lands on new host without being resolvable 😊 .

I would like to introduce another python script for hook regarding migration events to get these entries back into DNS but for that I need there IPs.

Question:

• Where can I find/locate/read VMs IPs and Hostnames (is it dom_xml) to be able to incorporate them for DNS Update script?

Or even better:

• What would be even better, is there a way to not trigger the dns update if VM is being Migrated? Can I use dom_xml or other location to check wheter VM is migrated  or not,  which would allow me to control if dnsupdate should be triggered or not

If its relevant for the question: we are currently running oVIrt 4.3.3 version

Kindly awaiting your reply.
