[ovirt-users] python sdk and /api/hosts/{host:id}/install

Thu Apr 21 14:58:28 UTC 2016

I'm trying to the use the API to reinstall an hosts.

But if a post the following content :
POST /api/hosts/XXXXX/install

> <action>
>     <host>
>         <override_iptables>false</override_iptables>
>     </host>
>     <ssh>
>         <port>22</port>
>         <fingerprint>SHA256:XXXX</fingerprint>
>         <authentication_method>publickey</authentication_method>
>     </ssh>
> </action>

I get the error :
[Cannot edit Host. Power Management is enabled for Host but no Agent type selected.]

But the agent was set when I created the host, the GUI don't ask for power management informations when reinstalling the hosts and when I look the the rsdl ( at https://ovirt/api?rsdl), the agent type was not required.

So what's wrong with the install command and that is not in the rsdl ?

I'm using ovirt-engine 3.6.5.3

The rsdl for install that I got :

<link href="/api/hosts/{host:id}/install" rel="install">
