Well there is no guide on the web which I'm aware of. But to my experience, scripting the shell has it's limitations you might want to try the python sdk, which is more useful or if you need some webapp anyway use the rest api. you could also script the rest api using e.g. curl but I wouldn't recommend that.

there is documentation on this here:

https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtua...

https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtua...

you can basically substitute rhev with ovirt.

there still seems to be no updated dev guides for 3.4 though.

The location of that documentation has changed a bit for 3.4:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualizat...

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualizat...

I have automated everything via REST, as I have php devs who did the work ;)

There are still some things you can't do via rest, like creating network qos entities (attaching them to a vm works but you need to create them manually).

But in the future everything will use rest, so I guess this is the best way to go.

Excellent, thanks for the quick reply guys.

I am trying to automate 100 vm creations so... If anyone has a good guide that exists I would be very appreciative, otherwise I will keep tipping away :)

Did you consider using templates and pools?

If you have a template with all the characteristics you need, you can easily create the 100 VMs with a Python script like this: #!/usr/bin/python import ovirtsdk.api import ovirtsdk.xml # Connect to the server: api = ovirtsdk.api.API( url="https://rhel.example.com/ovirt-engine/api", username="admin@internal", password="******", insecure=True, debug=False, ) # Locate the cluster: cluster = api.clusters.get(name="mycluster") cluster = ovirtsdk.xml.params.Cluster(id=cluster.get_id()) # Locate the template: template = api.templates.get(name="mytemplate") template = ovirtsdk.xml.params.Template(id=template.get_id()) # Create the VMs: for i in range(0, 99): name = "vm%d" % i print("Creating VM %s ..." % name) vm = ovirtsdk.xml.params.VM(name=name, cluster=cluster, template=template) api.vms.add(vm) # Disconnect: api.disconnect() -- Dirección Comercial: C/Jose Bardasano Baos, 9, Edif.
