The above is correct.

If you want a simpler complete example, it should be something like this:

---8<---
#!/usr/bin/python

from ovirtsdk.api import API
from ovirtsdk.xml import params

# Connect to the server:
api = API(
    url="https://engine.example.com/ovirt-engine/api",
    username="admin at internal",
    password="...",
    ca_file="/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/ca.pem",
    debug=False,
)

# Find the VM:
vm = api.vms.get(name="myvm")

# Migrate the VM to the host:
vm.migrate(
  action=params.Action(
    host=params.Host(
      name="myhost",
    )
  ),
)


# Disconnect:
api.disconnect()
