Synopsis
- Manages OpenNebula instances
Requirements
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
- pyone
Parameters
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
---|---|---|
api_password
string
|
Password of the user to login into OpenNebula RPC server. If not set
then the value of the
ONE_PASSWORD environment variable is used.
if both api_username or api_password are not set, then it will try
authenticate with ONE auth file. Default path is "~/.one/one_auth".
Set environment variable ONE_AUTH to override this path.
|
|
api_url
string
|
URL of the OpenNebula RPC server.
It is recommended to use HTTPS so that the username/password are not
transferred over the network unencrypted.
If not set then the value of the ONE_URL environment variable is used.
|
|
api_username
string
|
Name of the user to login into the OpenNebula RPC server. If not set
then the value of the ONE_USERNAME environment variable is used.
|
|
attributes
dictionary
|
Default:
{}
|
A dictionary of key/value attributes to add to new instances, or for
setting
state of instances with these attributes.
Keys are case insensitive and OpenNebula automatically converts them to upper case.
Be aware
NAME is a special attribute which sets the name of the VM when it's deployed.
# character(s) can be appended to the NAME and the module will automatically add
indexes to the names of VMs.
For example':'
NAME':' foo-### would create VMs with names foo-000 , foo-001 ,...
When used with
count_attributes and exact_count the module will
match the base name without the index part.
|
count
integer
|
Default:
1
|
Number of instances to launch
|
count_attributes
dictionary
|
A dictionary of key/value attributes that can only be used with
exact_count to determine how many nodes based on a specific
attributes criteria should be deployed. This can be expressed in
multiple ways and is shown in the EXAMPLES section.
|
|
count_labels
list / elements=string
|
A list of labels that can only be used with
exact_count to determine
how many nodes based on a specific labels criteria should be deployed.
This can be expressed in multiple ways and is shown in the EXAMPLES
section.
|
|
cpu
float
|
Percentage of CPU divided by 100 required for the new instance. Half a
processor is written 0.5.
|
|
datastore_id
integer
added in 0.2.0 of community.general
|
Name of Datastore to use to create a new instace
|
|
datastore_name
string
added in 0.2.0 of community.general
|
Name of Datastore to use to create a new instace
|
|
disk_saveas
dictionary
|
Creates an image from a VM disk.
It is a dictionary where you have to specify
name of the new image.
Optionally you can specify
disk_id of the disk you want to save. By default disk_id is 0.
NOTE':' This operation will only be performed on the first VM (if more than one VM ID is passed)
and the VM has to be in the
poweredoff state.
Also this operation will fail if an image with specified name already exists.
|
|
disk_size
list / elements=string
|
The size of the disk created for new instances (in MB, GB, TB,...).
NOTE':' If The Template hats Multiple Disks the Order of the Sizes is
matched against the order specified in template_id /template_name .
|
|
exact_count
integer
|
Indicates how many instances that match
count_attributes and
count_labels parameters should be deployed. Instances are either
created or terminated based on this value.
NOTE':' Instances with the least IDs will be terminated first.
|
|
group_id
integer
|
ID of the group which will be set as the group of the instance
|
|
hard
boolean
|
|
Reboot, power-off or terminate instances hard
|
instance_ids
list / elements=integer

state of instances with these labels.
|
memory
string
|
The size of the memory for new instances (in MB, GB, ...)
|

mode
string
|
Set permission mode of the instance in octet format, e.g. 600 to give owner use and manage and nothing to group and others.
|
|
networks
list / elements=dictionary
|
Default:
[]
|
A list of dictionaries with network parameters. See examples for more details.
|
owner_id
integer
|
ID of the user which will be set as the owner of the instance
|
|
persistent
boolean
added in 0.2.0 of community.general
|
|
Create a private persistent copy of the template plus any image defined in DISK, and instantiate that copy.
|
state
string
|
|
present - create instances from a template specified with template_id /template_name .
running - run instances
poweredoff - power-off instances
rebooted - reboot instances
absent - terminate instances
|
template_id
integer
|
ID of a VM template to use to create a new instance
|
|
template_name
string
|
Name of VM template to use to create a new instace
|

|
|
vm_start_on_hold
boolean
|
|
Set to true to put vm on hold while creating
|
wait
boolean
|
|
Wait for the instance to reach its desired state before returning. Keep
in mind if you are waiting for instance to be in running state it
doesn't mean that you will be able to SSH on that machine only that
boot process have started on that instance, see 'wait_for' example for
details.
|
wait_timeout
integer
|
Default:
300
|
How long before wait gives up, in seconds
