Also, when usin= g templates, it automatically assumes I will be using the last version of t= he template, this had to be defined when using REST. * Assume I have deployed from a template. This will create a VM wit= h a disk that is already attached. Now, let's say I want to confirm, or add= more disks to the VM. If I pass a number of disks, that have already been = attached, and I reference them by name (in ovirt_disks), I get an error. If= I do the same operation by ID it seems to work. However I cannot get the I= D when running ansible, I need to get it from REST. When I query ovirt_vms,= disk attachments comes up as o "disk_attachments": [], If that field gets populated, I could then in turn run ovirt_disks with the= ID, after querying the VM to get the attachments, but as it is it cannot b= e done.

Hi,

I have had varying degrees of success, and I would like to list the following issues:
· Through the REST API, I can define multiple nic card configurations for cloud-init, however only 1 can be done with Ansible.
This issue was already opened here: https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/issues/3447 I will be very happy if you will take a look and tell what you think about the proposed fix.
Also, when using templates, it automatically assumes I will be using the last version of the template, this had to be defined when using REST.
I've opened an issue here: https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/issues/3555 Feel free to comment there any additional requests regarding that issue.

The second example is working, even if the disk has already been attached.

Yes, that is the problem. To work reliably with disks, the only way is the ID. I will document it better, so users aren't confused. I've opened following issue: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/18650 I will work on it, feel free to comment any ideas there.
I’m happy to do more testing as further commits appear.
Thank you, the fixes will be during this week, so hopefully merged soon.

Hi, currently the only way how to test not-yet-merged modules is to download the from github and save them manually into the existing directory with oVirt modules which are part of Ansible 2.2 (this way you can use all new modules even with 2.2). Thanks a lot for any testing and feedback for those modules Martin Perina On Mon, Nov 28, 2016 at 5:15 PM, Jean Paul Gatt < jeanpaul.gatt@gamesysnetwork.com> wrote:
Thanks Ondra,
I will follow them on Github.
Keep up the good work. Also if there is any possibility to start testing the other modules(like managing networks) due to come out with ansible 2.3 please let me know.
Regards,
Jean Paul Gatt

Hi,
thank you very much for your feedback. I am sending few notes inline.

Hi,
I have been trying to use the following ansible modules (based on the last devel commit in the ansible github repo for the extras modules 43bb97bc3763b0335e245606eb2985314902cc91):
* ovirt_vms
* ovirt_disks
I have had varying degrees of success, and I would like to list the following issues:
* Through the REST API, I can define multiple nic card configurations for cloud-init, however only 1 can be done with Ansible.
This issue was already opened here:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/issues/3447
I will be very happy if you will take a look and tell what you think about the proposed fix.
Also, when using templates, it automatically assumes I will be using the last version of the template, this had to be defined when using REST.
I've opened an issue here:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras/issues/3555
Feel free to comment there any additional requests regarding that issue.
* Assume I have deployed from a template. This will create a VM with a disk that is already attached. Now, let's say I want to confirm, or add more disks to the VM. If I pass a number of disks, that have already been attached, and I reference them by name (in ovirt_disks), I get an error. If I do the same operation by ID it seems to work. However I cannot get the ID when running ansible, I need
to get it from REST.
When I query ovirt_vms, disk attachments comes up as
o "disk_attachments": [],
If that field gets populated, I could then in turn run ovirt_disks with the ID, after querying the VM to get the attachments, but as it is it cannot be done.
I'll give an example
- name: Get Disks
ovirt_disks:
auth: "{{ovirt_auth}}"
vm_name: "{{item.0.name}}"
name: "{{item.1.name}}"
interface: "{{item.1.interface}}"
register: r_disks
with_subelements:
- "{{virtual_machines }}"
- drives
If the drives have already been attached this will fail... but
- name: Add Disks to VMs
ovirt_disks:
auth: "{{ovirt_auth}}"
vm_name: "{{item.0.name}}"
id: 8fc2811e-7774-4903-a5b3-489fdedb377b
size: "100GiB"
format: "{{item.1.format}}"
storage_domain: "{{item.1.storage_domain.name}}"
bootable: "{{item.1.bootable}}"
interface: "{{item.1.interface}}"
state: attached
with_subelements:
- "{{virtual_machines }}"
- drives
The second example is working, even if the disk has already been attached.
I'm assuming that since I'm creating the VM from a template, there might be multiple disks with the same name, and the wrong ID is being retrieved.
Yes, that is the problem. To work reliably with disks, the only way is the ID. I will document it better, so users aren't confused.
I've opened following issue:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/18650
I will work on it, feel free to comment any ideas there.
I'm happy to do more testing as further commits appear.
Thank you, the fixes will be during this week, so hopefully merged soon.
