[Users] API Query on --> api.vms.list

[Ori Liel]

Hi Anil,

when you tried what Rami suggested:

vmnames = api.vms.list(query = 'name=a')
for vm in vmnames:
    print vm.name

what was the output?

Thanks, 

Ori.

[<ovirtsdk.infrastructure.brokers.VM object at 0x12d6790>] 
Traceback (most recent call last): 
File "connect.py", line 21, in <module> 
print vmnames.name 
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'name'

It did not work. Actually following are the functions I am getting for vmnames. 

vmnames.append vmnames.extend vmnames.insert vmnames.remove vmnames.sort 
vmnames.count vmnames.index vmnames.pop vmnames.reverse 

Thanks, 
Anil

Hi 

I am writing a small python script to get the name of all the VMs that matches a string. 

========== 
import sys 
import getopt 
import optparse 
import os 
import time 
from ovirtsdk.api import API 
from ovirtsdk.xml import params 

URL=' https://192.168.1.1:8443/api ' #RHEVM API ACCESS URL 
USERNAME='admin at internal' 
PASSWORD='ovirt' 


api=API(url=URL, username=USERNAME, password=PASSWORD) 

vmnames = api.vms.list(query = 'name=a') 
print vmnames 

you print the vm object you get, while you need to print the "name" field: 
print vmnames.name 



========== 

Print output is, 

<ovirtsdk.infrastructure.brokers.VM object at 0x1d4e790> 

I was expecting a list of VMs which contains "a" in their names. 

Am I doing it correct? Can someone guide me with a small example?
