[ovirt-users] Ansible Modules for ovirt

[Jean Paul Gatt]

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. 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.

*         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.

I'm happy to do more testing as further commits appear.

Regards,

Jean Paul Gatt
