Can anyone post link.  (with examples.. as most documentation for oVirt lacks this)..  where I can power on a VM via CLI or API.

As of now I cannot login to oVirt-Engine.  No errors when I restart it..  https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/45KKF5TN5PRQ3R7MDOWIQTSYZXZRVDIZ/

BUt... I need to get VMs booted.

I tried to follow:
http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/master/
and my server's API web portal
https://ovirte01.penguinpages.local/ovirt-engine/apidoc/#/documents/003_common_concepts

And.. even get POSTMAN (real newbie at that tool but ran into how to add exported .pem key from portal to session issues)


# failed CLI example:   Power on VM "ns01"

########### <<<< DRAFT :: 2020-09-30################

# Get key from oVirt engine and import.  Ex: from ovirte01  into server 'thor

curl -k 'https://ovirte01.penguinpages.local/ovirt-engine/services/pki-resource?resource=ca-certificate&format=X509-PEM-CA' -o ovirt01_ca.pem

sudo cp ovirt01_ca.pem /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors

sudo update-ca-trust extract

 

openssl s_client -connect ovirte01.penguinpages.local:443 -showcerts < /dev/null

 <snip... lots of key info back>

# Use key during GET list of VMs 

?? <meh?

# Power on VM  <<fubar still>

 curl -X POST https://ovirte01.penguinpages.local/post -H /ovirt-engine/api/vms/ns01/start HTTP/1.1
