⁠4.7. Example: Approving a Host using Python

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor hosts are added to the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager during their configuration. Once you have added a Hypervisor it requires approval in the Manager before it can actually be used in the environment.

Example 4.6. Approving a host using Python

This Python example calls the approve method for a host named Atlantic.

from ovirtsdk.api import API
from ovirtsdk.xml import params

try:
    api = API(url="HOST",
              username="USER",
              password="PASS",
              ca_file="ca.crt")

    h = api.hosts.get(name="Atlantic")

    if(h.approve()):
        print "Host '%s' approved (Status: %s)." % (h.get_name(), h.get_status().get_state())
    else:
        print "Approval of '%s' failed." % h.get_name()

    api.disconnect()

except Exception as ex:
    print "Unexpected error: %s" % ex

If the approve request is successful then the script will output:

Host 'Atlantic' approved (Status: Up).

Note that the status reflects that the host has been approved and is now considered to be up.
