Starting a virtual machine
Example 2.20. Starting a virtual machine using Python
This example starts the virtual machine using the
start method.
from ovirtsdk.api import API
from ovirtsdk.xml import params
try:
api = API (url="https://HOST",
username="USER@DOMAIN",
password="PASS",
ca_file="ca.crt")
vm = api.vms.get(name="vm1")
try:
vm.start()
print "Started '%s'." % vm.get_name()
except Exception as ex:
print "Unable to start '%s': %s" % (vm.get_name(), ex)
api.disconnect()
except Exception as ex:
print "Unexpected error: %s" % ex
If the
start request is successful then the script will output:
Started 'vm1'.
Note that the
status reflects that the virtual machine has been started and is now up.
