Description

Retrieve information about one or more oVirt/RHV virtual machines.

This module was called C(ovirt_vm_facts) before Ansible 2.9, returning C(ansible_facts). Note that the M(pkubica.ovirt.ovirt_vm_info) module no longer returns C(ansible_facts)!


Requirements

Usage examples

  • Success
    Steampunk Spotter scan finished with no errors, warnings or hints.
# Examples don't contain auth parameter for simplicity,
# look at ovirt_auth module to see how to reuse authentication:

# Gather information about all VMs which names start with C(centos) and
# belong to cluster C(west):
- pkubica.ovirt.ovirt_vm_info:
    pattern: name=centos* and cluster=west
  register: result
  • Success
    Steampunk Spotter scan finished with no errors, warnings or hints.
- ansible.builtin.debug:
    msg: "{{ result.ovirt_vms }}"
  • Success
    Steampunk Spotter scan finished with no errors, warnings or hints.
# Gather info about next run configuration of virtual machine named myvm
- pkubica.ovirt.ovirt_vm_info:
    pattern: name=myvm
    next_run: true
  register: result
  • Success
    Steampunk Spotter scan finished with no errors, warnings or hints.
- ansible.builtin.debug:
    msg: "{{ result.ovirt_vms[0] }}"
