Note

This plugin is part of the ovirt.ovirt collection (version 1.6.4).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install ovirt.ovirt.

To use it in a playbook, specify: ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_host_storage_info.

Notes

Note

  • In order to use this module you have to install oVirt Python SDK. To ensure it’s installed with correct version you can create the following task: pip: name=ovirt-engine-sdk-python version=4.4.0

Examples

# Examples don't contain auth parameter for simplicity,
# look at ovirt_auth module to see how to reuse authentication:

# Gather information about HostStorages with specified target and address:
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_host_storage_info:
    host: myhost
    iscsi:
      target: iqn.2016-08-09.domain-01:nickname
      address: 10.34.63.204
  register: result
- ansible.builtin.debug:
    msg: "{{ result.ovirt_host_storages }}"

- name: Gather information about all storages
  ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_host_storage_info:
    host: myhost

- name: Gather information about all iscsi storages
  ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_host_storage_info:
    host: myhost
    iscsi: {}

- name: Gather information about all fcp storages
  ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_host_storage_info:
    host: myhost
    fcp: {}

Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key Returned Description
ovirt_host_storages
list / elements=string
On success.
List of dictionaries describing the HostStorage. HostStorage attributes are mapped to dictionary keys, all HostStorage attributes can be found at following url: http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/master/#types/host_storage.
