Ansible and oVirt/Red Hat Virtualization

Modules

• rhevm - https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/rhevm_module.html
  • supports oVirt/RHEV version 3.
• ovirt_vm - https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/ovirt_vm_module.html
  • need ovirt-engine-sdk-python >= 4.3.0

    sudo apt install python-pip
    apt-get install python-lxml
    apt-cache depends python-pycurl
    # then install all dependancies
    sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev
    sudo apt install libcurl4-gnutls-dev librtmp-dev
    pip install ovirt-engine-sdk-python
