Abstract

Version 4 of the Red Hat Virtualization Manager supports versions 3 and 4 of the Representational State Transfer API. The information and examples in this guide apply to version 3 of the REST API.

Chapter 1. Introduction

Red Hat Virtualization Manager provides a Representational State Transfer (REST) API. The API provides software developers and system administrators with control over their Red Hat Virtualization environment outside of the standard web interface. The REST API is useful for developers and administrators who aim to integrate the functionality of a Red Hat Virtualization environment with custom scripts or external applications that access the API via the standard Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).
The benefits of the REST API are:
  • Broad client support - Any programming language, framework, or system with support for HTTP protocol can use the API;
  • Self descriptive - Client applications require minimal knowledge of the virtualization infrastructure as many details are discovered at runtime;
  • Resource-based model - The resource-based REST model provides a natural way to manage a virtualization platform.
This provides developers and administrators with the ability to:
  • Integrate with enterprise IT systems.
  • Integrate with third-party virtualization software.
  • Perform automated maintenance or error checking tasks.
  • Automate repetitive tasks in a Red Hat Virtualization environment with scripts.
This documentation acts as a reference to the Red Hat Virtualization Manager REST API. It aims to provide developers and administrators with instructions and examples to help harness the functionality of their Red Hat Virtualization environment through the REST API either directly or using the provided Python libraries.

1.1. Representational State Transfer

Representational State Transfer (REST) is a design architecture that focuses on resources for a specific service and their representations. A resource representation is a key abstraction of information that corresponds to one specific managed element on a server. A client sends a request to a server element located at a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and performs operations with standard HTTP methods, such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. This provides a stateless communication between the client and server where each request acts independent of any other request and contains all necessary information to complete the request.

1.2. Red Hat Virtualization REST API Prerequisites

Red Hat Virtualization REST API Prerequisites

  • A networked installation of Red Hat Virtualization Manager, which includes the REST API.
  • A client or programming library that initiates and receives HTTP requests from the REST API. For example:
    • Python software development kit (SDK)
    • Java software development kit (SDK)
    • cURL command line tool
    • RESTClient, a debugger for RESTful web services
  • Knowledge of Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which is the protocol used for REST API interactions. The Internet Engineering Task Force provides a Request for Comments (RFC) explaining the Hypertext Transfer Protocol at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt.
  • Knowledge of Extensible Markup Language (XML) or JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), which the API uses to construct resource representations. The W3C provides a full specification on XML at http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/. ECMA International provide a free publication on JSON at http://www.ecma-international.org.

Chapter 2. Authentication and Security

2.1. TLS/SSL Certification

The Red Hat Virtualization Manager API requires Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) [1] for secure interaction with client software, such as the Manager's SDK and CLI components. This involves a process of obtaining a certificate from the Red Hat Virtualization Manager and importing it into the certificate store of your client.

Important

Obtain your certificate from the Red Hat Virtualization Manager using a secure network connection.

Procedure 2.1. Obtaining a Certificate

You can obtain a certificate from the Red Hat Virtualization Manager and transfer it to the client machine using one of three methods:
  1. Method 1 - Use a command line tool to download the certificate from the Manager. Examples of command line tools include cURL and Wget, both of which are available on multiple platforms.
    1. If using cURL:
      $ curl -o rhvm.cer http://[manager-fqdn]/ovirt-engine/services/pki-resource?resource=ca-certificate&format=X509-PEM-CA
    2. If using Wget:
      $ wget -O rhvm.cer http://[manager-fqdn]/ovirt-engine/services/pki-resource?resource=ca-certificate&format=X509-PEM-CA
  2. Method 2 - Use a web browser to navigate to the certificate located at:
    http://[manager-fqdn]/ovirt-engine/services/pki-resource?resource=ca-certificate&format=X509-PEM-CA
    Depending on the chosen browser, the certificate either downloads or imports into the browser's keystore.
    1. If the browser downloads the certificate: save the file as rhvm.cer.
      If the browser imports the certificate: export it from the browser's certification options and save it as rhvm.cer.
  3. Method 3 - Log in to the Manager, export the certificate from the truststore and copy it to your client machine.
    1. Log in to the Manager as the root user.
    2. Export the certificate from the truststore using the Java keytool management utility:
      $ keytool -exportcert -keystore /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/.truststore -alias cacert -storepass mypass -file rhvm.cer
      This creates a certificate file called rhvm.cer.
    3. Copy the certificate to the client machine using the scp command:
      $ scp rhvm.cer [username]@[client-machine]:[directory]
Each of these methods results in a certificate file named rhvm.cer on your client machine. An API user imports this file into the certificate store of the client.

Procedure 2.2. Importing a Certificate to a Client

  • Importing a certificate to a client relies on how the client itself stores and interprets certificates. This guide contains some examples on importing certificates. For clients not using Network Security Services (NSS) or Java KeyStore (JKS), see your client documentation for more information on importing a certificate.

2.2. HTTP Authentication

Any user with a Red Hat Virtualization account has access to the REST API. An API user submits a mandatory Red Hat Virtualization Manager user name and password with all requests to the API. Each request uses HTTP Basic Authentication [2] to encode these credentials. If a request does not include an appropriate Authorization header, the API sends a 401 Authorization Required as a result:

Example 2.1. Access to the REST API without appropriate credentials

HEAD [base] HTTP/1.1
Host: [host]

HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required
Request are issued with an Authorization header for the specified realm. An API user encodes an appropriate Red Hat Virtualization Manager domain and user in the supplied credentials with the username@domain:password convention.
The following table shows the process for encoding credentials in base64.

Table 2.1. Encoding credentials for API access

Item Value
username rhevmadmin
domain domain.example.com
password 123456
unencoded credentials rhevmadmin@domain.example.com:123456
base64 encoded credentials cmhldm1hZG1pbkBibGFjay5xdW1yYW5ldC5jb206MTIzNDU2
An API user provides the base64 encoded credentials as shown:

Example 2.2. Access to the REST API with appropriate credentials

HEAD [base] HTTP/1.1
Host: [host]
Authorization: Basic cmhldm1hZG1pbkBibGFjay5xdW1yYW5ldC5jb206MTIzNDU2

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...

Important

Basic authentication involves potentially sensitive information, such as passwords, sent as plain text. REST API requires Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) for transport-level encryption of plain-text requests.

Important

Some base64 libraries break the result into multiple lines and terminate each line with a newline character. This breaks the header and causes a faulty request. The Authorization header requires the encoded credentials on a single line within the header.

2.3. Authentication Sessions

The API also provides the ability for authentication session support. An API user sends an initial request with authentication details, then sends all subsequent requests using a session cookie to authenticate. The following procedure demonstrates how to use an authenticated session.

Procedure 2.3. Requesting an authenticated session

  1. Send a request with the Authorization and Prefer: persistent-auth
    HEAD [base] HTTP/1.1
    Host: [host]
    Authorization: Basic cmhldm1hZG1pbkBibGFjay5xdW1yYW5ldC5jb206MTIzNDU2
    Prefer: persistent-auth
    
    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    ...
    
    This returns a response with the following header:
    Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=5dQja5ubr4yvI2MM2z+LZxrK; Path=/ovirt-engine/api; Secure
    
    Note the JSESSIONID= value. In this example the value is JSESSIONID=5dQja5ubr4yvI2MM2z+LZxrK.
  2. Send all subsequent requests with the Prefer: persistent-auth and cookie header with the JSESSIONID= value. The Authorization is no longer needed when using an authenticated session.
    HEAD [base] HTTP/1.1
    Host: [host]
    Prefer: persistent-auth
    cookie: JSESSIONID=5dQja5ubr4yvI2MM2z+LZxrK
    
    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    ...
    
  3. When the session is no longer required, perform a request to the sever without the Prefer: persistent-auth header.
    HEAD [base] HTTP/1.1
    Host: [host]
    Authorization: Basic cmhldm1hZG1pbkBibGFjay5xdW1yYW5ldC5jb206MTIzNDU2
    
    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    ...
    

Chapter 3. REST API Quick Start Example

This chapter provides an example to demonstrate the REST API's ability to setup a basic Red Hat Virtualization environment and create a virtual machine.
In addition to the standard prerequisites, this example requires the following:
  • A networked and configured Red Hat Virtualization Host;
  • An ISO file containing a desired virtual machine operating system to install. This chapter uses Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6 for our installation ISO example; and
  • Red Hat Virtualization's engine-iso-uploader tool to upload your chosen operating system ISO file.
This example uses cURL to demonstrate REST requests with a client application. Note that any application capable of HTTP requests can substitute for cURL.

Important

For simplicity, the HTTP request headers in this example omit the Host: and Authorization: fields. However, these fields are mandatory and require data specific to your installation of Red Hat Virtualization Manager.

Important

All cURL examples include placeholders for authentication details (USER:PASS) and certificate location (CERT). Ensure all requests performed with cURL fulfill certification and authentication requirements.

Note

Red Hat Virtualization Manager generates a globally unique identifier (GUID) for the id attribute for each resource. Identifier codes in this example might appear different to the identifier codes in your Red Hat Virtualization environment.

3.1. Example: Access API Entry Point

The following request retrieves a representation of the main entry point for version 3 of the API.

Important

When neither the header nor the URL prefix are used, the server will automatically select a version. The default is version 4. You can change the default version using the ENGINE_API_DEFAULT_VERSION parameter:
# echo "ENGINE_API_DEFAULT_VERSION=3" > \
  /etc/ovirt-engine/engine.conf.d/99-set-default-version.conf
# systemctl restart ovirt-engine
Changing this parameter affects all users of the Manager that don't specify the version explicitly.
The entry point provides a user with links to the collections in a virtualization environment. The rel= attribute of each collection link provides a reference point for each link. The next step in this example examines the datacenter collection, which is available through the rel="datacenter" link.
The entry point also contains other data such as product_info, special_objects and summary. This data is covered in chapters outside this example.

3.2. Example: List Data Center Collection

Red Hat Virtualization Manager creates a Default data center on installation. This example uses the Default data center as the basis for our virtual environment.
The following request retrieves a representation of the data center collection:

Example 3.2. List data center collection

Request:

GET /ovirt-engine/api/datacenters HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml

cURL command:

# curl -X GET -H "Accept: application/xml" -u [USER:PASS] \
    --cacert [CERT] \

        <status>
            <state>up</state>
        </status>
    </data_center>
</data_centers>

Note the id code of your Default data center. This code identifies this data center in relation to other resources of your virtual environment.
The data center also contains a link to the storagedomains sub-collection. The data center uses this sub-collection to attach storage domains from the storagedomains main collection, which this example covers later.

3.3. Example: List Host Cluster Collection

Red Hat Virtualization Manager creates a Default host cluster on installation. This example uses the Default cluster to group resources in your Red Hat Virtualization environment.
The following request retrieves a representation of the cluster collection:

Example 3.3. List host clusters collection

</clusters>

Note the id code of your Default host cluster. This code identifies this host cluster in relation to other resources of your virtual environment.
The Default cluster is associated with the Default data center through a relationship using the id and href attributes of the data_center element.
The networks sub-collection contains a list of associated network resources for this cluster. The next section examines the networks collection in more detail.

3.4. Example: List Logical Networks Collection

Red Hat Virtualization Manager creates a default ovirtmgmt network on installation. This network acts as the management network for Red Hat Virtualization Manager to access hosts.
This network is associated with our Default cluster and is a member of the Default data center. This example uses the ovirtmgmt network to connect our virtual machines.
The following request retrieves a representation of the logical networks collection:

Example 3.4. List logical networks collection

Request:

GET /ovirt-engine/api/networks HTTP/1.1

The ovirtmgmt network is attached to the Default data center through a relationship using the data center's id code.
The ovirtmgmt network is also attached to the Default cluster through a relationship in the cluster's network sub-collection.

3.5. Example: List Host Collection

This example uses a Red Hat Virtualization Host. Red Hat Virtualization Manager automatically registers any configured Red Hat Virtualization Host. This example retrieves a representation of the hosts collection and shows a Red Hat Virtualization Host named hypervisor registered with the virtualization environment.

3.7. Example: Create NFS Data Storage

An NFS data storage domain is an exported NFS share attached to a data center and provides storage for virtualized guest images. Creation of a new storage domain requires a POST request, with the storage domain representation included, sent to the URL of the storage domain collection.
You can enable the wipe after delete option by default on the storage domain. To configure this specify <wipe_after_delete> in the POST request. This option can be edited after the domain is created, but doing so will not change the wipe after delete property of disks that already exist.

Example 3.7. Create an NFS data storage domain

Request:

3.8. Example: Create NFS ISO Storage

An NFS ISO storage domain is a mounted NFS share attached to a data center and provides storage for DVD/CD-ROM ISO and virtual floppy disk (VFD) image files. Creation of a new storage domain requires a POST request, with the storage domain representation included, sent to the URL of the storage domain collection.
You can enable the wipe after delete option by default on the storage domain. To configure this specify <wipe_after_delete> in the POST request. This option can be edited after the domain is created, but doing so will not change the wipe after delete property of disks that already exist.

Example 3.8. Create an NFS ISO storage domain

Request:

POST /ovirt-engine/api/storagedomains HTTP/1.1

    <path>/iso1</path>
  </storage>
  <host>
    <name>hypervisor</name>
  </host>
</storage_domain>

cURL command:

# curl -X POST -H "Accept: application/xml" -H "Content-Type: application/xml" \
    -u [USER:PASS] --cacert [CERT] \

    <host><name>hypervisor</name></host></storage_domain>" \
    https://[RHEVM Host]:443/ovirt-engine/api/storagedomains

The API creates a NFS iso storage domain called iso1 with an export path of 192.168.0.10:/iso1 and gets access to the storage domain through the hypervisor host. The API also returns the following representation of the newly created storage domain resource.
Result:

3.13. Example: Create Virtual Machine Storage Disk

The following example creates an 8 GB Copy-On-Write storage disk for the example virtual machine.

Example 3.15. Create a virtual machine storage disk

Request:

POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms/6efc0cfa-8495-4a96-93e5-ee490328cf48/disks HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

    https://[RHEVM Host]:443/ovirt-engine/api/vms/6efc0cfa-8495-4a96-93e5-ee490328cf48/disks

The storage_domain element tells the API to store the disk on the data1 storage domain.

3.14. Example: Attach ISO Image to Virtual Machine

The boot media for our example virtual machine requires an CD-ROM or DVD ISO image for an operating system installation. This example uses a Red Hat Enterprise Server 6 ISO image for installation.
ISO images must be available in the iso1 ISO domain for the virtual machines to use. Red Hat Virtualization Platform provides an uploader tool that ensures that the ISO images are uploaded into the correct directory path with the correct user permissions.
Once the ISO is uploaded, an API user requests the ISO storage domain's files sub-collection to view the file resource:

Example 3.16. View the files sub-collection in an ISO storage domain

Request:

GET /ovirt-engine/api/storagedomains/00f0d9ce-da15-4b9e-9e3e-3c898fa8b6da/files HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml

cURL command:

# curl -X GET -H "Accept: application/xml" -u [USER:PASS] --cacert [CERT] \
    https://[RHEVM Host]:443/ovirt-engine/api/storagedomains/00f0d9ce-da15-4b9e-9e3e-3c898fa8b6da/files

The API returns the following representation of the files sub-collection:
<files>
    <file id="rhel-server-6.0-x86_64-dvd.iso"
      href="/ovirt-engine/api/storagedomains/00f0d9ce-da15-4b9e-9e3e-3c898fa8b6da/
      files/rhel-server-6.0-x86_64-dvd.iso.iso">
        <name>rhel-server-6.0-x86_64-dvd.iso.iso</name>
        <storage_domain id="00f0d9ce-da15-4b9e-9e3e-3c898fa8b6da"
          href="/ovirt-engine/api/storagedomains/00f0d9ce-da15-4b9e-9e3e-3c898fa8b6da"/>
    </file>
</files>
An API user attaches the rhel-server-6.0-x86_64-dvd.iso to our example virtual machine. Attaching an ISO image is equivalent to using the Change CD button in the Administration or User Portal.

Example 3.17. Attach an ISO image to the virtual machine

Request:

POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms/6efc0cfa-8495-4a96-93e5-ee490328cf48/cdroms HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<cdrom>
  <file id="rhel-server-6.0-x86_64-dvd.iso"/>
</cdrom>

cURL command:

# curl -X POST -H "Accept: application/xml" -H "Content-Type: application/xml" \
    -u [USER:PASS] --cacert [CERT] \
    -d "<cdrom><file id='rhel-server-6.0-x86_64-dvd.iso'/></cdrom>" \
    https://[RHEVM Host]:443/ovirt-engine/api/vms/6efc0cfa-8495-4a96-93e5-ee490328cf48/cdroms

3.15. Example: Start Virtual Machine

The virtual environment is complete and the virtual machine contains all necessary components to function. This example starts the virtual machine using the start action.

Example 3.18. Start the virtual machine

Request:

POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms/6efc0cfa-8495-4a96-93e5-ee490328cf48/start HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<action>
  <vm>
    <os>
      <boot dev="cdrom"/>
    </os>
  </vm>
</action>

cURL command:

# curl -X POST -H "Accept: application/xml" -H "Content-Type: application/xml" \
    -u [USER:PASS] --cacert [CERT] \
    -d "<action><vm><os><boot dev='cdrom'/></os></vm></action>" \
    https://[RHEVM Host]:443/ovirt-engine/api/vms/6efc0cfa-8495-4a96-93e5-ee490328cf48/start

The additional message entity sets the virtual machine's boot device to CD-ROM for this boot only. This enables the virtual machine to install Red Hat Enterprise Server 6 from the attached ISO image. The boot device reverts back to disk for all future boots.

3.16. Example: Check System Events

The start action for the vm1 creates several entries in the events collection. This example lists the events collection and identifies events specific to the API starting a virtual machine.

Example 3.19. List the events collection

Request:

GET /ovirt-engine/api/events HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml

cURL command:

# curl -X GET -H "Accept: application/xml" -u [USER:PASS] \
    --cacert [CERT] \
    https://[RHEVM Host]:443/ovirt-engine/api/events

The following events occur:
  • id="101" - The API authenticates with the admin user's user name and password.
  • id="102" - The API, acting as the admin user, starts vm1 on the hypervisor host.
  • id="103" - The API logs out of the admin user account.

Chapter 4. Entry Point

A user begins interacting with the API through a GET request on the entry point URI consisting of a host and base.

Example 4.1. Accessing the API Entry Point

If the host is www.example.com and the base is /ovirt-engine/api, the entry point appears with the following request:
GET /ovirt-engine/api HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Host: www.example.com
Authorization: [base64 encoded credentials]

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/xml

<api>
    <link rel="hosts" href="/ovirt-engine/api/hosts"/>
    <link rel="vms" href="/ovirt-engine/api/vms"/>
    ...
    <product_info>
        <name>Red Hat Virtualization</name>
        <vendor>Red Hat</vendor>
        <version revision="0" build="0" minor="0" major="4"/>
    </product_info>    
    <special_objects>
        <link rel="templates/blank" href="..."/>
        <link rel="tags/root" href="..."/>
    </special_objects>
    <summary>
        <vms>
            <total>10</total>
            <active>3</active>
        </vms>
        <hosts>
            <total>2</total>
            <active>2</active>
        </hosts>
        <users>
            <total>8</total>
            <active>2</active>
        </users>
        <storage_domains>
            <total>2</total>
            <active>2</active>
        </storage_domains>
    </summary>
</ovirt-engine/api>

Note

For simplicity, all other examples omit the Host: and Authorization: request headers and assume the base is the default /ovirt-engine/api path. This base path differs depending on your implementation.

4.1. Product Information

The entry point contains a product_info element to help an API user determine the legitimacy of the Red Hat Virtualization environment. This includes the name of the product, the vendor and the version.

Example 4.2. Verify a genuine Red Hat Virtualization environment

The follow elements identify a genuine Red Hat Virtualization 4.0 environment:
<api>
    ...
    <product_info>
        <name>Red Hat Virtualization</name>
        <vendor>Red Hat</vendor>
				<version>
						<build>2</build>
						<full_version>4.0.2.3-0.1.el7ev</full_version>
						<major>4</major>
						<minor>0</minor>
						<revision>0</revision>
				</version>
    </product_info>
    ...
</ovirt-engine/api>

4.3. Special Object Elements

Special object elements define relationships to special fixed resources within the virtualization environment.

Table 4.3. Special Objects

Relationship Description
templates/blank The default blank virtual machine template for your virtualization environment. This template exists in every cluster as opposed to a standard template, which only exists in a single cluster.
tags/root The root tag that acts as a base for tag hierarchy in your virtualization environment.

4.4. Summary Element

The summary element shows a high level summary of the system's statistics.

Table 4.4. Summary Elements

Element Description
vms Total number of vms and total number of active vms.
hosts Total number of hosts and total number of active hosts.
users Total number of users and total number of active users.
storage_domains Total number of storage domains and total number of active storage domains.

4.5. RESTful Service Description Language (RSDL)

RESTful Service Description Language (RSDL) provides a description of the structure and elements in the REST API in one whole XML specification. Invoke the RSDL using the following request.
GET /ovirt-engine/api?rsdl HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
This produces an XML document in the following format:

4.6. Red Hat Virtualization Windows Guest VSS Support

The Red Hat Virtualization Backup and Restore API provides integration with Microsoft Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) using qemu-ga. The VSS provider registration is made in the guest level as part of the Guest Tools deployment.
qemu-ga provides VSS support and live snapshots attempt to quiesce whenever possible.

4.7. QEMU Guest Agent Overview

In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, the QEMU Guest Agent (QEMU GA) provided protection against the corruption of Linux guest virtual machines. Before issuing a snapshot request or creating a backup copy of the disk, the management stack (libvirt) sent a guest-fsfreeze-freeze QMP command to the QEMU GA via the virtio-serial port. This command caused the guest agent to freeze all of the guest virtual machine's filesystems, via the FIFREEZE ioctl() kernel function. This ioctl() function is implemented by the Linux kernel in the guest virtual machine. The function flushes the filesystem cache in the guest virtual machine's kernel, brings the filesystem into a consistent state, and denies all userspace threads write access to the filesystem.
Only after the QEMU GA reported success, libvirt would proceed with the snapshot. At its completion, libvirt sends the guest-fsfreeze-thaw QMP command to the QEMU GA over the virtio-serial port. This command tells the QEMU GA to issue a FITHAW ioctl(), which unblocks the userspace threads that were previously denied write access, and resumes normal processing. This process did not ensure that application-level data was in a consistent state when the virtual disk snapshot was taken. This was evident in cases where the fsck utility found no problems on filesystems restored from snapshots, and yet applications were not able to resume processing from the point where the snapshot was taken and userspace processes may not have written their internal buffers to files on the disk.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 ensures that both file and application-level synchronization (flushing) are done. Guest system administrators can write and install application-specific freezing and thawing hook scripts. Before freezing the filesystems, the QEMU GA invokes the main hook script (included in the QEMU GA package). The main hook script in turn calls individual application-specific scripts, prepared by the guest system administrators, that temporarily deactivate all guest virtual machine applications. All of these actions occur when the mode is changed to "freeze".
Just before filesystems are frozen, the guest system administrator's scripts cause the databases and other file system applications to flush their working buffers to the virtual disk and to stop accepting further client connections. The applications then bring their data files into a consistent state where resumption of processing, with the reactivated (or a freshly started) instance of the application (after restoring the virtual disk from backup) is possible. When all scripts are done making their respective applications inactive, and the main hook script returns, QEMU GA proceeds to freeze filesystems, and the management stack takes the snapshot. Once all this is done, and it is confirmed that the snapshot is taken, the file system will resume to serve write requests. This process is called thawing.
Thawing is freezing in reverse order. Instructed by libvirt, QEMU GA thaws the guest virtual machine's filesystems. It then invokes individual hook scripts (via the main hook script) to resume or restart applications that had been inactivated during the freeze process.

4.8. VSS Transaction Flow

In processing a backup, the requester and the writers coordinate to do several things: to provide a stable system image from which to back up data (the shadow copied volume), to group files together on the basis of their usage, and to store information on the saved data. This must all be done with minimal interruption of the writer's normal work flow.
A requester (in our case the Backup Vendor) queries writers for their metadata, processes this data, notifies the writers prior to the beginning of the shadow copy and of the backup operations, and then notifies the writers again after the shadow copy and backup operations end.

Chapter 5. Compatibility Level Versions

Each host connected to Red Hat Virtualization Manager contains a version of VDSM. VDSM is the agent within the virtualization infrastructure that runs on a hypervisor or host and provides local management for virtual machines, networks and storage. Red Hat Virtualization Manager controls hypervisors and hosts using current or older versions of VDSM.
The Manager migrates virtual machines from host to host within a cluster. This means the Manager excludes certain features from a current version of VDSM until all hosts within a cluster have the same VDSM version, or more recent, installed.
The API represents this concept as a compatibility level for each host, corresponding to the version of VDSM installed. A version element contains major and minor attributes, which describe the compatibility level.
When an administrator upgrades all hosts within a cluster to a certain level, the version level appears under a supported_versions element. This indicates the cluster's version is now updatable to that level. Once the administrator updates all clusters within a data center to a given level, the data center is updatable to that level.

5.1. Upgrading Compatibility Levels

Example 5.1. Upgrading compatibility levels

The API reports the following compatibility levels for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager 3.4 instance:
<host ...>
    ...
    <version major="4" minor="14" build="11" revision="0" full_version="vdsm-4.14.11-5.el6ev"/>
    ...
</host>

<cluster ...>
    ...
    <version major="3" minor="4"/>
    ...
</cluster>

<data_center ...>
    ...
    <version major="3" minor="4"/>
    </supported_versions>
    ...
</data_center>

All hosts within a cluster are updated to VDSM 3.5 and the API reports:
<host ...>
    ...
    <version major="4" minor="16" build="7" revision="4" full_version="vdsm-4.16.7.4-1.el6ev"/>
    ...
</host>

<cluster ...>
    ...
    <version major="3" minor="4"/>
    <supported_versions>
        <version major="3" minor="5"/>
    </supported_versions>
    ...
</cluster>

<data_center ...>
    ...
    <version major="3" minor="4"/>
    <supported_versions/>
    ...
</data_center>
The cluster is now updatable to 3.5. When the cluster is updated, the API reports:
<cluster ...>
    ...
    <version major="3" minor="5"/>
    <supported_versions/>
    ...
</cluster>

<data_center ...>
    ...
    <version major="3" minor="4"/>
    <supported_versions>
        <version major="3" minor="5"/>
    </supported_versions>
    ...
</data_center>
The API user updates the data center to 3.5. Once upgraded, the API exposes features available in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.5 for this data center.

Chapter 6. Capabilities

The capabilities collection provides information about the capabilities that versions of Red Hat Virtualization support. These capabilities include active features and available enumerated values for specific properties.
To retrieve a full list of the capabilities for all versions of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization from 3.2 to the latest version, submit the following request:

Chapter 7. Common Features

7.1. Element Property Icons

Note

Throughout this guide, the elements of each resource are detailed in tables. These tables include a properties column, displaying icons depicting element properties. The meaning of these icons is shown in Table 7.1, “Element property icons”.

Table 7.1. Element property icons

Property Description Icon
Required for creation These elements must be included in the client-provided representation of a resource on creation, but are not mandatory for an update of a resource.
Non-updatable These elements cannot have their value changed when updating a resource. Include these elements in a client-provided representation on update only if their values are not altered by the API user. If altered, the API reports an error.
Read-only These elements are read-only. Values for read-only elements are not created or modified.

7.2. Representations

7.2.1. Representations

The API structures resource representations in the following XML document structure:
<resource id="resource_id" href="/ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id">
    <name>Resource-Name</name>
    <description>A description of the resource</description>
    ...
</resource>
In the context of a virtual machine, the representation appears as follows:
<vm id="5b9bbce5-0d72-4f56-b931-5d449181ee06"
  href="/ovirt-engine/api/vms/5b9bbce5-0d72-4f56-b931-5d449181ee06">
    <name>RHEL6-Machine</name>
    <description>Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Virtual Machine</description>
    ...
</vm>

7.2.2. Common Attributes to Resource Representations

All resource representations contain a set of common attributes

Table 7.2. Common attributes to resource representations

Attribute Type Description Properties
id GUID Each resource in the virtualization infrastructure contains an id, which acts as a globally unique identifier (GUID). The GUID is the primary method of resource identification.
href string The canonical location of the resource as an absolute path.

7.2.3. Common Elements to Resource Representations

All resource representations contain a set of common elements.

Table 7.3. Common elements to resource representations

Element Type Description Properties
name string A user-supplied human readable name for the resource. The name is unique across all resources of its type.
description string A free-form user-supplied human readable description of the resource.  

7.3. Collections

7.3.1. Collections

A collection is a set of resources of the same type. The API provides both top-level collections and sub-collections. An example of a top-level collection is the hosts collection which contains all virtualization hosts in the environment. An example of a sub-collection is the host.nics collection which contains resources for all network interface cards attached to a host resource.

7.3.2. Listing All Resources in a Collection

Obtain a listing of resources in a collection with a GET request on the collection URI obtained from the entry point.
Include an Accept HTTP header to define the MIME type for the response format.
GET /ovirt-engine/api/[collection] HTTP/1.1
Accept: [MIME type]

7.3.3. Listing Extended Resource Sub-Collections

The API extends collection representations to include sub-collections when the Accept header includes the detail parameter.
GET /ovirt-engine/api/collection HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml; detail=subcollection
This includes multiple sub-collection requests using either separated detail parameters:
GET /ovirt-engine/api/collection HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml; detail=subcollection1; detail=subcollection2
Or one detail parameter that separates the sub-collection with the + operator:
GET /ovirt-engine/api/collection HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml; detail=subcollection1+subcollection2+subcollection3
The API supports extended sub-collections for the following main collections.

Table 7.4. Collections that use extended sub-collections

Collection Extended Sub-Collection Support
hosts statistics
vms statistics, nics, disks

Example 7.1. A request for extended statistics, NICs and disks sub-collections in the vms collection

GET /ovirt-engine/api/vms HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml; detail=statistics+nics+disks

7.3.4. Searching Collections with Queries

A GET request on a "collection/search" link results in a search query of that collection. The API only returns resources within the collection that satisfy the search query constraints.
GET /ovirt-engine/api/collection?search={query} HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/xml

<collection>
    <resource id="resource_id" href="/ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id">
        ...
    </resource>
    ...
</collection>

7.3.5. Maximum Results Parameter

Use the max URL parameter to limit the list of results. An API search query without specifying the max parameter will return all values. Specifying the max parameter is recommended to prevent API search queries from slowing UI performance.
GET /ovirt-engine/api/collection;max=1 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/xml

<collection>
    <resource id="resource_id" href="/ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id">
        <name>Resource-Name</name>
        <description>A description of the resource</description>
        ...
    </resource>
</collection>

7.3.6. Case Sensitivity

All search queries are case sensitive by default. The URL syntax provides a Boolean option to toggle case sensitivity.

Example 7.2. Case insensitive search query

GET /ovirt-engine/api/collection;case-sensitive=false?search={query} HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml

7.3.7. Query Syntax

The API uses the URI templates to perform a search query with a GET request:
GET /ovirt-engine/api/collection?search={query} HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
The query template value refers to the search query the API directs to the collection. This query uses the same format as Red Hat Virtualization Query Language:
(criteria) [sortby (element) asc|desc]
The sortby clause is optional and only needed when ordering results.

Table 7.5. Example search queries

Collection Criteria Result
hosts vms.status=up Displays a list of all hosts running virtual machines that are up.
vms domain=qa.company.com Displays a list of all virtual machines running on the specified domain.
vms users.name=mary Displays a list of all virtual machines belonging to users with the user name mary.
events severity>normal sortby time Displays the list of all events with severity higher than normal and sorted by the time element values.
events severity>normal sortby time desc Displays the list of all events with severity higher than normal and sorted by the time element values in descending order.
The API requires the query template to be URL-encoded to translate reserved characters, such as operators and spaces.

Example 7.3. URL-encoded search query

GET /ovirt-engine/api/vms?search=name%3Dvm1 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml

7.3.8. Wildcards

Search queries substitute part of a value with an asterisk as a wildcard.

Example 7.4. Wildcard search query for name=vm*

GET /ovirt-engine/api/vms?search=name%3Dvm* HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
This query would result in all virtual machines with names beginning with vm, such as vm1, vm2, vma or vm-webserver.

Example 7.5. Wildcard search query for name=v*1

GET /ovirt-engine/api/vms?search=name%3Dv*1 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
This query would result in all virtual machines with names beginning with v and ending with 1, such as vm1, vr1 or virtualmachine1.

7.3.9. Pagination

Some Red Hat Virtualization environments contain large collections of resources. However, the API only displays a default number of resources for one search query to a collection. To display more than the default, the API separates collections into pages via a search query containing the page command.

Example 7.6. Paginating resources

This example paginates resources in a collection. The URL-encoded request is:
GET /ovirt-engine/api/collection?search=page%201 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Increase the page value to view the next page of results:
GET /ovirt-engine/api/collection?search=page%202 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Use the page command in conjunction with other commands in a search query. For example:
GET /ovirt-engine/api/collection?search=sortby%20element%20asc%20page%202 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
This query displays the second page in a collection listing ordered by a chosen element.

Important

The REST APIs are stateless; it is not possible to retain a state between different requests since all requests are independent from each other. As a result, if a status change occurs between your requests, then the page results may be inconsistent.
For example, if you request a specific page from a list of VMs, and a status change occurs before you can request the next page, then your results may be missing entries or contain duplicated entries.

7.3.10. Creating a Resource in a Collection

Create a new resource with a POST request to the collection URI containing a representation of the new resource.
A POST request requires a Content-Type header. This informs the API of the representation MIME type in the body content as part of the request.
Include an Accept HTTP header to define the MIME type for the response format.
Each resource type has its own specific required properties. The client supplies these properties when creating a new resource. Refer to the individual resource type documentation for more details.
If a required property is absent, the creation fails with a representation indicating the missing elements.
POST /ovirt-engine/api/[collection] HTTP/1.1
Accept: [MIME type]
Content-Type: [MIME type]

[body]

7.3.11. Asynchronous Requests

The API performs asynchronous POST requests unless the user overrides them with an Expect: 201-created header.
For example, certain resources, such as Virtual Machines, Disks, Snapshots and Templates, are created asynchronously. A request to create an asynchronous resource results in a 202 Accepted status. The initial document structure for a 202 Accepted resource also contains a creation_status element and link for creation status updates. For example:
POST /ovirt-engine/api/collection HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-Type: application/xml

<resource>
    <name>Resource-Name</name>
</resource>

HTTP/1.1 202 Accepted
Content-Type: application/xml

<resource id="resource_id" href="/ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id">
    <name>Resource-Name</name>
    <creation_status>
        <state>pending</state>
    </creation status>
    <link rel="creation_status" 
      href="/ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id/creation_status/creation_status_id"/>
      ...
</resource>
A GET request to the creation_status link provides a creation status update:
GET /ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id/creation_status/creation_status_id HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/xml

<creation id="creation_status_id"
  href="/ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id/creation_status/creation_status_id">
    <status>
        <state>complete</state>
    </status>
</creation>
Overriding the asynchronous resource creation requires an Expect: 201-created header:
POST /ovirt-engine/api/collection HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-Type: application/xml
Expect: 201-created

<resource>
    <name>Resource-Name</name>
</resource>

7.4. Resources

7.4.1. Resources

Resources are data sources in a RESTful web service. Each resource type contains a set of common parameters that the REST API abstracts to form a resource representation, usually in XML or JSON. Users can view a resource representation, then edit the parameters and send the representation back to the resource's URL within the API, which modifies the resource. Users can also delete individual resources through REST.
A RESTful web service also groups resources into collections. Users can view a representation of all resources in a collection. Users also send resource representations to a specific collection to create a new resource within that particular collection.

7.4.2. Retrieving a Resource

Obtain the state of a resource with a GET request on a URI obtained from a collection listing.
Include an Accept HTTP header to define the MIME type for the response format.
GET /ovirt-engine/api/[collection]/[resource_id] HTTP/1.1
Accept: [MIME type]
You can obtain additional information from some resources using the All-Content: true header. The RESTful Service Description Language describes which links support this header.
GET /ovirt-engine/api/[collection]/[resource_id] HTTP/1.1
Accept: [MIME type]
All-Content: true

7.4.3. Updating a Resource

Modify resource properties with a PUT request containing an updated description from a previous GET request for the resource URI. Details on modifiable properties are found in the individual resource type documentation.
A PUT request requires a Content-Type header. This informs the API of the representation MIME type in the body content as part of the request.
Include an Accept HTTP header to define the MIME type for the response format.
PUT /ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id HTTP/1.1
Accept: [MIME type]
Content-Type: [MIME type]

[body]
This does not include immutable resource properties that an API user has attempted to modify. If an attempt is made to modify a strictly immutable resource property, the API reports a conflict with an error message representation in the response body.
Properties omitted from the representation are ignored and not changed.

7.4.4. Deleting a Resource

Delete a resource with a DELETE request sent to its URI.
Include an Accept HTTP header to define the MIME type for the response format.
DELETE /ovirt-engine/api/[collection]/[resource_id] HTTP/1.1
Accept: [MIME type]
Some cases require optional body content in the DELETE request to specify additional properties. A DELETE request with optional body content requires a Content-Type header to inform the API of the representation MIME type in the body content. If a DELETE request contains no body content, omit the Content-Type header.

7.4.5. Sub-Collection Relationships

A sub-collection relationship defines a hierarchical link between a resource and a sub-collection. The sub-collection exists or has some meaning in the context of a parent resource. For example, a virtual machine contains network interfaces, which means the API maps the relationship between the virtual machine resource and the network interfaces sub-collection.
Sub-collections are used to model the following relationships types:
  • Where one parent resource can contain several child resources and vice versa. For example, a virtual machine can contain several disks and some disks are shared among multiple virtual machines.
  • Where mapped resources are dependent on a parent resource. Without the parent resource, the dependent resource cannot exist. For example, the link between a virtual machine and snapshots.
  • Where mapped resources exist independently from parent resources but data is still associated with the relationship. For example, the link between a cluster and a network.
The API defines a relationship between a resource and a sub-collection using the link rel= attribute:
GET /ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/xml

<resource id="resource_id" href="/ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id">
    ...
    <link rel="subcollection"
      href="/ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id/subcollection"/>
    ...
</resource>
The API user now queries the sub-collection.
GET /ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id/subcollection HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/xml

<subcollection>
    <subresource id="subresource_id"
      href="/ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id/subcollection/subresource_id">
        ...
    </subresource>
    ...
</subcollection>

7.4.6. XML Element Relationships

XML element links act as an alternative to sub-collections to express relationships between resources. XML element links are simply elements with a "href" attribute that points to the linked element.
XML element links are used to model simple 1:N mappings between resources without a dependency and without data associated with the relationship. For example, the relationship between a host and a cluster.
Examples of such relationships include:
  • Backlinks from a resource in a sub-collection to a parent resource; or
  • Links between resources with an arbitrary relationship.

Example 7.7. Backlinking from a sub-collection resource to a resource using an XML element

GET /ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id/subcollection/subresource_id HTTP/1.1

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/xml

<subcollection>
    <subresource id="subresource_id"
      href="/ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id/subcollection/subresource_id">
        <resource id="resource_id" href="/ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id"/>
        ...
    </subresource>
</subcollection>

7.4.7. Actions

Most resources include a list of action links to provide functions not achieved through the standard HTTP methods.
<resource>
    ...
    <actions>
        <link rel="start" href="/ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id/start"/>
        <link rel="stop" href="/ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id/stop"/>
        ...
    </actions>
    ...
</resource>
The API invokes an action with a POST request to the supplied URI. The body of the POST requires an action representation encapsulating common and task-specific parameters.

Table 7.6. Common action parameters

Element Description
async true if the server responds immediately with 202 Accepted and an action representation contains a href link to be polled for completion.
grace_period a grace period in milliseconds, which must expire before the action is initiated.
Individual actions and their parameters are documented in the individual resource type's documentation. Some parameters are mandatory for specific actions and their absence is indicated with a fault response.
An action also requires a Content-Type: application/xml header since the POST request requires an XML representation in the body content.
When the action is initiated asynchronously, the immediate 202 Accepted response provides a link to monitor the status of the task:
POST /ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id/action HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/xml
Accept: application/xml

<action>
    <async>true</async>
</action>

HTTP/1.1 202 Accepted
Content-Type: application/xml

<action id="action_id"
  href="/ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id/action/action_id">
    <async>true</async>
    ...
</action>
A subsequent GET on the action URI provides an indication of the status of the asynchronous task.

Table 7.7. Action statuses

Status Description
pending Task has not yet started.
in_progress Task is in operation.
complete Task completed successfully.
failed Task failed. The returned action representation would contain a fault describing the failure.
Once the task has completed, the action is retained for an indeterminate period. Once this has expired, subsequent GETs are 301 Moved Permanently redirected back to the target resource.
GET /ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id/action/action_id HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/xml

<action id="action_id"
  href="/ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id/action/action_id">
    <status>
        <state>pending</state>
    </status>
    <link rel="parent" /ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id"/>
    <link rel="replay" href="/ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id/action"/>
</action>
An action representation also includes some links that are identified by the rel attribute:

Table 7.8. Action relationships

Type Description
parent A link back to the resource of this action.
replay A link back to the original action URI. POSTing to this URI causes the action to be re-initiated.

7.4.8. Permissions

Each resource contains a permissions sub-collection. Each permission contains a user, an assigned role and the specified resource. For example:
GET /ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id/permissions HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/xml

<permissions>
    <permission id="permission-id"
      href="/ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id/permissions/permission_id">
        <role id="role_id" href="/ovirt-engine/api/roles/role_id"/>
        <user id="user_id" href="/ovirt-engine/api/users/user_id"/>
        <resource id="resource_id" href="/ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id"/>
    </permission>
    ...
</permissions>
A resource acquires a new permission when an API user sends a POST request with a permission representation and a Content-Type: application/xml header to the resource's permissions sub-collection. Each new permission requires a role and a user:
POST /ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id/permissions HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/xml
Accept: application/xml

<permission>
    <role id="role_id"/>
    <user id="user_id"/>
</permission>

HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Content-Type: application/xml

<permission id="permission_id"
  href="/ovirt-engine/api/resources/resource_id/permissions/permission_id">
    <role id="role_id" href="/ovirt-engine/api/roles/role_id"/>
    <user id="user_id" href="/ovirt-engine/api/users/user_id"/>
    <resource id="resource_id" href="/ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id"/>
</permission>

7.4.9. Handling Errors

Some errors require further explanation beyond a standard HTTP status code. For example, the API reports an unsuccessful resource state update or action with a fault representation in the response entity body. The fault contains a reason and detail strings. Clients must accommodate failed requests via extracting the fault or the expected resource representation depending on the response status code. Such cases are clearly indicated in the individual resource documentation.
PUT /ovirt-engine/api/collection/resource_id HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-Type: application/xml

<resource>
    <id>id-update-test</id>
</resource>

HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict
Content-Type: application/xml

<fault>
    <reason>Broken immutability constraint</reason>
    <detail>Attempt to set immutable field: id</detail>
</fault>

Chapter 8. The Backup and Restore API

The backup and restore API is a collection of functions that allows you to perform full or file-level backup and restoration of virtual machines. The API combines several components of Red Hat Virtualization, such as live snapshots and the REST API, to create and work with temporary volumes that can be attached to a virtual machine containing backup software provided by an independent software provider.
For supported third-party backup vendors, consult the Red Hat Virtualization Ecosystem at Red Hat Marketplace.

8.1. Backing Up a Virtual Machine

Use the backup and restore API to back up a virtual machine. This procedure assumes you have two virtual machines: the virtual machine to back up, and a virtual machine on which the software for managing the backup is installed.

Procedure 8.1. Backing Up a Virtual Machine

  1. Using the REST API, create a snapshot of the virtual machine to back up:
    POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms/11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111/snapshots/ HTTP/1.1
    Accept: application/xml
    Content-type: application/xml
    
    <snapshot>
        <description>BACKUP</description>
    </snapshot>

    Note

    When you take a snapshot of a virtual machine, a copy of the configuration data of the virtual machine as at the time the snapshot was taken is stored in the data attribute of the configuration attribute in initialization under the snapshot.

    Important

    You cannot take snapshots of disks that are marked as shareable or that are based on direct LUN disks.
  2. Retrieve the configuration data of the virtual machine from the data attribute under the snapshot:
    GET /ovirt-engine/api/vms/11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111/snapshots/11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111 HTTP/1.1
    Accept: application/xml
    Content-type: application/xml
  3. Identify the disk ID and snapshot ID of the snapshot:
    GET /ovirt-engine/api/vms/11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111/snapshots/11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111/disks HTTP/1.1
    Accept: application/xml
    Content-type: application/xml
  4. Attach the snapshot to the backup virtual machine and activate the disk:
    POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms/22222222-2222-2222-2222-222222222222/disks/ HTTP/1.1
    Accept: application/xml
    Content-type: application/xml
    
    <disk id="11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111">
        <snapshot id="11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111"/>
        <active>true</active>
    </disk>
    
  5. Use the backup software on the backup virtual machine to back up the data on the snapshot disk.
  6. Detach the snapshot disk from the backup virtual machine:
    DELETE /ovirt-engine/api/vms/22222222-2222-2222-2222-222222222222/disks/11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111 HTTP/1.1
    Accept: application/xml
    Content-type: application/xml
    
    <action>
        <detach>true</detach>
    </action>
    
  7. Optionally, delete the snapshot:
    DELETE /ovirt-engine/api/vms/11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111/snapshots/11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111 HTTP/1.1
    Accept: application/xml
    Content-type: application/xml
You have backed up the state of a virtual machine at a fixed point in time using backup software installed on a separate virtual machine.

8.2. Restoring a Virtual Machine

Restore a virtual machine that has been backed up using the backup and restore API. This procedure assumes you have a backup virtual machine on which the software used to manage the previous backup is installed.

Procedure 8.2. Restoring a Virtual Machine

  1. Attach the disk to the backup virtual machine:
    POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms/22222222-2222-2222-2222-222222222222/disks/ HTTP/1.1
    Accept: application/xml
    Content-type: application/xml
    
    <disk id="11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111">
    </disk>
    
  2. Use the backup software to restore the backup to the disk.
  3. Detach the disk from the backup virtual machine:
    DELETE /ovirt-engine/api/vms/22222222-2222-2222-2222-222222222222/disks/11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111 HTTP/1.1
    Accept: application/xml
    Content-type: application/xml
    
    <action>
        <detach>true</detach>
    </action>
    
  4. Create a new virtual machine using the configuration data of the virtual machine being restored:
    POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms/ HTTP/1.1
    Accept: application/xml
    Content-type: application/xml
    
    <vm>
        <cluster>
            <name>cluster_name</name>
        </cluster>
        <name>NAME</name>
        ...
    </vm>
  5. Attach the disk to the new virtual machine:
    POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms/33333333-3333-3333-3333-333333333333/disks/ HTTP/1.1
    Accept: application/xml
    Content-type: application/xml
    
    <disk id="11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111">
    </disk>
    
You have restored a virtual machine using a backup that was created using the backup and restore API.

9.5. Sub-Collections

9.5.1. Storage Domains Sub-Collection

9.5.1.1. Storage Domains Sub-Collection

Each data center contains a sub-collection for attached storages domain. An API user interacts with this sub-collection using the standard REST methods.
An attached storage domain has a similar representation to a top-level storage domain, with the exception that it has a data center specific status and set of actions. States for the status element are listed in storage_domain_states under capabilities.

Important

The API as documented in this section is experimental and subject to change. It is not covered by the backwards compatibility statement.

9.5.1.2. Attaching and Detaching a Storage Domain

A data center is only ready for use when at least one storage domain is attached, which an API user POSTs to the data center's storage domains sub-collection.
When attaching a storage domain, its id or name must be supplied. An example of attaching a storage domain to a data center:

Example 9.6. Attach a storage domain to a data center

<action>
  <async>true</async>
</action>

9.5.1.3. Actions

9.5.1.3.1. Activate Storage Domain Action
An attached storage domain requires activation on a data center before use. The activate action does not take any action specific parameters.

Example 9.8. Action to active a storage domain on a datacenter

POST /ovirt-engine/api/datacenters/d70d5e2d-b8ad-494a-a4d2-c7a5631073c4/storagedomains/fabe0451-701f-4235-8f7e-e20e458819ed/activate HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<action/>
9.5.1.3.2. Deactivate Storage Domain Action
An attached storage domain is deactivated on a data center before removal. The deactivate action does not take any action specific parameters.

Example 9.9. Action to deactivate a storage domain on a datacenter

POST /ovirt-engine/api/datacenters/d70d5e2d-b8ad-494a-a4d2-c7a5631073c4/storagedomains/fabe0451-701f-4235-8f7e-e20e458819ed/deactivate HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<action/>

9.5.2. Network Sub-Collection

9.5.2.1. Networks Sub-Collection

Networks associated with a data center are represented with the networks sub-collection. The representation of a data center's network sub-collection contains the following elements:

Table 9.2. Network elements

Element Type Description
name string A plain text, human readable name for the network.
description string A plain text, human readable description of the network.
rel="permissions" relationship A link to the permissions sub-collection for the network.
rel="vnicprofiles" relationship A link to the vnicprofiles sub-collection for the network.
rel="labels" relationship A link to the labels sub-collection for the network.
data_center id= relationship A reference to the data center of which the network is a member.
stp Boolean: true or false Specifies whether spanning tree protocol is enabled for the network.
mtu integer Specifies the maximum transmission unit for the network.
usages complex Defines a set of usage elements for the network. Users can define networks as vm and display networks at this level.
In the REST API, you can manipulate the networks sub-collection with the standard REST methods. For example, the POST method can be used to update a network id or name

Example 9.10. Associating a network resource with a data center

POST /ovirt-engine/api/datacenters/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/networks HTTP/1.1

9.6. Actions

9.6.1. Force Remove Data Center Action

An API user forces the removal of a data center when encountering unresolvable problems with storage domains, such as the loss of connection to a master storage domain or a lack of available hosts when deleting storage domains. The API includes a force action to help with these situations.
This action removes database entries associated with a chosen data center before the API removes the data center from the Red Hat Virtualization environment. This means the API removes the data center regardless of associated storage domains.
This action requires a DELETE method. The request body contains an action representation with the force parameter set to true. The request also requires an additional Content-type: application/xml header to process the XML representation in the body.

Example 9.16. Force remove action on a data center

DELETE /ovirt-engine/api/datacenters/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<action>
  <force>true</force>
</action>
This action:
  • Deletes all database information for data storage domains associated the data center;
  • Deletes all database information for resources, such as virtual machines and templates, on data storage domains associated the data center;
  • Detaches iso and export storage domains from the data center; and
  • Deletes the database information for the data center.
This action overrides the requirement for a data center to be empty before deletion.

Important

This action only removes the database entries for resources associated with the data center. The data storage domains associated with the data center require manual format before reuse. Metadata for iso and export domains require manual cleaning prior to use on another data center.

Chapter 10. Clusters

10.1. Cluster Elements

The clusters collection provides information about clusters in a Red Hat Virtualization environment. An API user accesses this information through the rel="clusters" link obtained from the entry point URI.
The following table shows specific elements contained in a cluster resource representation.

Table 10.1. Cluster elements

Element Type Description Properties
name string A user-supplied, human-readable name for the cluster. The name is unique across all cluster resources.
description string A free-form, user-supplied, human-readable description of the cluster.

link rel="permissions" relationship A link to the sub-collection for cluster permissions.  
link rel="glustervolumes" relationship A link to the sub-collection for Red Hat Gluster Storage volumes associated with this cluster.  
link rel="glusterhooks" relationship A link to the sub-collection for Red Hat Gluster Storage volume hooks associated with this cluster.  
link rel="affinitygroups" relationship A link to the sub-collection for virtual machine affinity groups associated with this cluster.  
cpu id= complex A server CPU reference that defines the CPU type all hosts must support in the cluster.
data_center id= GUID A reference to the data center membership of this cluster.
memory_policy complex Defines the cluster's policy on host memory utilization.
scheduling_policy complex Defines the load-balancing or power-saving modes for hosts in the cluster.
version major= minor= complex The compatibility level of the cluster.
supported_versions complex A list of possible version levels for the cluster.
error_handling complex/enumerated Defines virtual machine handling when a host within a cluster becomes non-operational. Requires a single on_error element containing an enumerated type property listed in capabilities.  
virt_service Boolean Defines whether to expose virtualization services for this cluster.  
gluster_service Boolean Defines whether to expose Red Hat Gluster Storage services for this cluster.  
threads_as_cores Boolean Defines whether hosts can run virtual machines with a total number of processor cores greater than the number of cores in the host.

trusted_service Boolean Defines whether an OpenAttestation server is used to verify hosts.  
ballooning_enabled Boolean Defines whether ballooning is enabled for the cluster.  
ksm Boolean Defines whether ksm is enabled for the cluster.  

Note

When a host's free memory drops below 20%, ballooning commands like mom.Controllers.Balloon - INFO Ballooning guest:half1 from 1096400 to 1991580 are logged to /etc/vdsm/mom.conf. /etc/vdsm/mom.conf is the Memory Overcommit Manager log file. An event will also be added to the event log if a virtual machine does not respect a balloon.

10.2. Memory Policy Elements

The memory_policy element contains the following elements:

Table 10.2. Memory policy elements

Element Type Description Properties
overcommit percent= complex The percentage of host memory allowed in use before no more virtual machines can start on a host. Virtual machines can use more than the available host memory due to memory sharing under KSM. Recommended values include 100 (None), 150 (Server Load) and 200 (Desktop Load).
transparent_hugepages complex Define the enabled status of Transparent Hugepages. The status is either true or false. Check capabilities feature set to ensure your version supports transparent hugepages.

10.3. Scheduling Policy Elements

The scheduling_policy element contains the following elements:

Table 10.3. Scheduling policy elements

Element Type Description Properties
policy enumerated The VM scheduling mode for hosts in the cluster. A list of enumerated types are listed in capabilities.
thresholds low= high= duration= complex Defines CPU limits for the host. The high attribute controls the highest CPU usage percentage the host can have before being considered overloaded. The low attribute controls the lowest CPU usage percentage the host can have before being considered underutilized. The duration attribute refers to the number of seconds the host needs to be overloaded before the scheduler starts and moves the load to another host.

12.4. Methods

12.4.1. Creating a Storage Domain

Creation of a new storage domain requires the name, type, host and storage elements. Identify the host element with the id attribute or name element.
You can enable the wipe after delete option by default on the storage domain by specifying <wipe_after_delete> in the POST request. This option can be edited after the domain is created, but doing so will not change the wipe after delete property of disks that already exist.

Example 12.3.  Creating a storage domain

POST /ovirt-engine/api/storagedomains HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml
    
<storage_domain>
    <name>data1</name>
    <type>data</type>
    <host id="2ab5e1da-b726-4274-bbf7-0a42b16a0fc3"/>
    <storage>
        <type>nfs</type>
        <address>172.31.0.6</address>
        <path>/exports/RHEVX/images/0</path>
    </storage>
</storage_domain>
The API user attaches the storage domain to a data center after creation.

12.4.2. Updating a Storage Domain

Only the name and wipe after delete elements are updatable post-creation. Changing the wipe after delete element will not change the wipe after delete property of disks that already exist.

Example 12.4.  Updating a storage domain

PUT /ovirt-engine/api/storagedomains HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

The export storage domain is deprecated. Storage data domains can be unattached from a data center and imported to another data center in the same environment, or in a different environment. Virtual machines, floating virtual disk images, and templates can then be uploaded from the imported storage domain to the attached data center. See the Importing Existing Storage Domains section in the Red Hat Virtualization Administration Guide for information on importing storage domains.
Storage domains with type set to export contain vms and templates sub-collections, which list the import candidate VMs and templates stored on that particular storage domain.

Example 12.6. Listing the virtual machines sub-collection of an export storage domain

VMs and templates in these collections have a similar representation to their counterparts in the top-level VMs and templates collection, except they also contain a storage_domain reference and an import action.
The import action imports a virtual machine or a template from an export storage domain. The destination cluster and storage domain is specified with cluster and storage_domain references.
Include an optional name element to give the virtual machine or template a specific name.

Example 12.7. Action to import a virtual machine from an export storage domain

12.7. Glance Image Storage Domains

12.7.1. Glance Image Storage Domains

Storage domains with type set to Image represent instances of an OpenStack image service that has been added to the Red Hat Virtualization environment as an external provider. These Glance image storage domains contain an images sub-collection with virtual machine images that have been exported to or can be imported from that Glance image storage domain.

Example 12.12. Listing the images sub-collection of a Glance image storage domain

GET /ovirt-engine/api/storagedomains/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/images

</action>

12.8. Importing a Block Storage Domain

12.8.1. Importing a Block Storage Domain

An existing block storage domain with type set to iscsi or fcp can be imported to the engine using the REST API. The ability to import storage domains allows you to recover data in the event of a failure in the engine database, and to migrate data from one data center or environment to another.
This procedure assumes the storage domain is not attached to a data center or host in any environment. To import and attach an existing block storage domain to a data center, the target data center must be initialized.

Procedure 12.1. Importing a block storage domain

  1. Discover the targets on your iSCSI storage server:
    POST /ovirt-engine/api/hosts/052a880a-53e0-4fe3-9ed5-01f939d1df66/iscsidiscover
    Accept: application/xml
    Content-Type: application/xml
    
    <action>
        <iscsi>
            <address>192.0.2.0</address>
            <port>3260</port>
        </iscsi>
    </action>
    
  2. Get a list of storage domains that are candidates to be imported, using the iSCSI targets discovered in the previous step:
    POST /ovirt-engine/api/hosts/052a880a-53e0-4fe3-9ed5-01f939d1df66/unregisteredstoragedomainsdiscover HTTP/1.1
    Accept: application/xml
    Content-type: application/xml
    
    <action>
        <iscsi>
            <address>192.0.2.0</address>
        </iscsi>
        <iscsi_target>iqn.name1.120.01</iscsi_target>
        <iscsi_target>iqn.name2.120.02</iscsi_target>
        <iscsi_target>iqn.name3.120.03</iscsi_target>
    </action>
    
    The response shows a list of storage domains not associated with a host, similar to the following:
    <action>
        <iscsi>
            <address>192.0.2.0</address>
        </iscsi>
        <storage_domains>
            <storage_domain id="6ab65b16-0f03-4b93-85a7-5bc3b8d52be0">

                <committed>0</committed>
                <storage_format>v3</storage_format>
            </storage_domain>
        <status>
            <state>complete</state>
        </status>
        <iscsi_target>iqn.name1.120.01</iscsi_target>
        <iscsi_target>iqn.name2.120.02</iscsi_target>
        <iscsi_target>iqn.name3.120.03</iscsi_target>
    </action>
    
    
  3. Import the iSCSI storage domains to the host:
    POST /ovirt-engine/api/storagedomains/ HTTP/1.1
      Accept: application/xml
      Content-type: application/xml
    
    <storage_domain id="6ab65b16-0f03-4b93-85a7-5bc3b8d52be0">
        <import>true</import>
        <host id="052a880a-53e0-4fe3-9ed5-01f939d1df66" />
        <type>data</type>
        <storage>
            <type>iscsi</type>
        </storage>
    </storage_domain>
    
You have now imported the block storage domain to your host.
You may now wish to attach the storage domain to the host, and find any unregistered disks. Attach the storage domain and associated disks with the following steps:

Procedure 12.2. Attaching a block storage domain

  1. Attach the storage domain to your data center:
    POST /ovirt-engine/api/datacenters/01a45ff0-915a-45e0-8d56-5253234ac988/storagedomains
    Accept: application/xml
    Content-Type: application/xml
    
    <storage_domain>
        <name>scsi4</name>
    </storage_domain>
    
  2. Find the unregistered disks on the storage domain:
    GET /ovirt-engine/api/storagedomains/6ab65b16-0f03-4b93-85a7-5bc3b8d52be0/disks;unregistered
    Accept: application/xml
    Content-Type: application/xml
    
    This will return information about any unregistered disks on the storage domain, with a response similar to:
    <disk href= "/ovirt-engine/api/storagedomains/6ab65b16-0f03-4b93-85a7-5bc3b8d52be0/disks/b662f6da-3e97-4bb6-8a50-bda9980a6e83" id="b662f6da-3e97-4bb6-8a50-bda9980a6e83">

  3. Attach the disk to the storage domain:
    POST /ovirt-engine/api/storagedomains/6ab65b16-0f03-4b93-85a7-5bc3b8d52be0/disks;unregistered
    Accept: application/xml
    Content-Type: application/xml
    
    <disk id='b662f6da-3e97-4bb6-8a50-bda9980a6e83'></disk>
    
The disk is now attached to the imported block storage domain.

12.9. Sub-Collections

12.9.1. Files Sub-Collection

The files sub-collection under each storage domain provides a way for clients to list available files. This sub-collection is specifically targeted to ISO storage domains, which contain ISO images and virtual floppy disks (VFDs) that an administrator uploads through Red Hat Virtualization Manager.
The addition of a CD-ROM device to a VM requires an ISO image from the files sub-collection of an ISO storage domain.

Example 12.15. Listing the files sub-collection of an ISO storage domain

GET /ovirt-engine/api/storagedomains/00f0d9ce-da15-4b9e-9e3e-3c898fa8b6da/files HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

    </file>
    <file id="boot.vfd"
      href="/ovirt-engine/api/storagedomains/00f0d9ce-da15-4b9e-9e3e-3c898fa8b6da/files/
      boot.vfd">

    </file>
</files>
Like other resources, files have opaque id and href attributes. The name element contains the filename.

12.10. Actions

12.10.1. Importing an Existing Storage Domain

Note

The export storage domain is deprecated. Storage data domains can be unattached from a data center and imported to another data center in the same environment, or in a different environment. Virtual machines, floating virtual disk images, and templates can then be uploaded from the imported storage domain to the attached data center. See the Importing Existing Storage Domains section in the Red Hat Virtualization Administration Guide for information on importing storage domains.
The API provides a user with the ability to remove an ISO or Export storage domain from one Red Hat Virtualization Manager instance without re-formatting the underlying storage and import it into another instance. Importing is achieved similarly to adding a new storage domain, except the name is not specified.

Example 12.16. Importing an existing export storage domain

POST /ovirt-engine/api/storagedomains HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-Type: application/xml

<storage_domain>
    <type>export</type>
    <storage>
        <type>nfs</type>
        <address>172.31.0.6</address>
        <path>/exports/RHEVX/export-domain</path>
    </storage>
    <host id="2ab5e1da-b726-4274-bbf7-0a42b16a0fc3"/>
</storage_domain>

HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Content-Type: application/xml

<storage_domain id="fabe0451-701f-4235-8f7e-e20e458819ed"
  href="/ovirt-engine/api/storagedomains/fabe0451-701f-4235-8f7e-e20e458819ed">
    <name>export1</name>
    ...
</storage_domain>

12.10.2. Deleting a Storage Domain

A storage_domain reference is passed in the body of a DELETE request for a storage domain. The storage_domain reference is in the following form:
<storage_domain>
    <host id="..."/>
</storage_domain>
OR
<storage_domain>
    <host>
        <name>...</name>
    </host>
</storage_domain>
Format Storage Domain

An API user provides a optional format element to specify whether or not to format the storage domain after deletion.

Example 12.17. Formatting a storage domain after deletion

<storage_domain>
    <host id="..."/>
    <format>true</format>
</storage_domain>
If no format element is passed, the storage domain remains unformatted.
Logical Removal of Storage Domain

The API also provides a function for the logical removal of the storage domain. This retains the storage domain's data for import. Use the destroy element to logically remove the storage domain and retain the data.

Example 12.18. Logical removal of a storage domain

<storage_domain>
    <host id="..."/>
    <destroy>true</destroy>

  </storage_connection>
</storage_connections>

13.3. Methods

13.3.1. Creating a New Storage Connection

Creating a new storage connection requires a POST request.
It is possible to create a new storage connection without adding a storage domain. The host id or name is optional; providing it will attempt a connection to the storage via the host.

Example 13.2. Creating a New Storage Connection

POST /ovirt-engine/api/storageconnections HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<storage_connection>
   <type>nfs</type>
   <address>domain.example.com</address>
   <path>/export/storagedata/username/data</path>
   <host>
     <name>Host_Name</name>
   </host>
</storage_connection>

13.3.2. Deleting a Storage Connection

Deleting a storage connection requires a DELETE request. A storage connection can only be deleted if neither storage domain nor LUN disks reference it.
The host name or id is optional; providing it unmounts the connection from that host.

Example 13.3. Deleting Storage Connection

DELETE /ovirt-engine/api/storageconnections/Storage_Connection_ID HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<host>
  <name>Host_Name</name>
</host>

13.3.3. Updating a Storage Connection

Updating an existing storage connection requires a PUT request. The storage domain must be in either maintenance mode or unattached to successfully update the connection.
Providing the host name or id is optional; if provided, the host attempts a connection to the updated storage details.

Example 13.4. Updating a Storage Connection

PUT /ovirt-engine/api/storageconnections/Storage_Connection_ID HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<storage_connection>   
  <address>updated.example.domain.com</address>
  <host>
      <name>Host_name</name>
   </host>
</storage_connection>

13.3.4. Updating an iSCSI Storage Connection

Updating an existing iSCSI storage connection requires a PUT request. An iSCSI storage domain must be in maintenance mode or unattached to successfully update the connection.

Example 13.5. Updating a Storage Connection

PUT /ovirt-engine/api/storageconnections/Storage_Connection_ID HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<storage_connection>   
  <port>3456</port>
</storage_connection>

13.3.5. Adding New Storage Domain with Existing Storage Connection

Adding a new storage domain with existing storage connection requires a POST request. This is only applicable with file-based storage domains: NFS, POSIX, and local.

Example 13.6. Adding a New Storage Domain with Existing Storage Connection

POST /ovirt-engine/api/storagedomains HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<storage_domain>
  <name>New_Domain</name>
  <type>data</type>
 <storage id="Storage_Connection_ID"/>
  <host>
    <name>Host_Name</name>
  </host>
</storage_domain>

13.3.6. Attaching an Additional Storage Connection to iSCSI Storage

Attaching an additional storage connection to an iSCSI storage domain requires a POST request.

Example 13.7. Attaching an Additional Storage Connection to iSCSI Storage

POST /ovirt-engine/api/storagedomains/iSCSI_Domain_ID/storageconnections HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<storage_connection id="Storage_Connection_ID">
</storage_connection>

13.3.7. Detaching a Storage Connection from iSCSI Storage

Detaching a storage connection from an iSCSI storage domain requires a DELETE request.

Example 13.8. Detaching a Storage Connection from iSCSI Storage

DELETE /ovirt-engine/api/storagedomains/iSCSI_Domain_ID/storageconnections/Storage_Connection_ID HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

13.3.8. Defining Credentials to an iSCSI Target

When an iSCSI storage domain is added using the Administration Portal, only a single user name and password can be specified for that domain. However, some setups require that each host in the cluster use a separate user name and password. Specific credentials can be applied to each iSCSI target per host by using the storageconnectionextensions element.

Example 13.9. Defining credentials to an iSCSI target

POST /ovirt-engine/api/hosts/2ab5e1da-b726-4274-bbf7-0a42b16a0fc3/storageconnectionextensions HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<storageconnectionextension>
    <target>iqn.2010.05.com.example:iscsi.targetX</target>
    <username>jimmy</username>
    <password>p@55w0Rd!</password>
</storageconnectionextension>

Chapter 14. Hosts

14.1. Host Elements

14.4. Power Management Elements

The power_management element provides users with the ability to set a power management configuration, which is required for host fencing. Certain sub-elements are required when configuring power_management.

Table 14.2. Power management options

Element Type Description Properties
type= fencing device code A list of valid fencing device codes are available in the capabilities collection.
enabled Boolean: true or false Indicates whether power management configuration is enabled or disabled.
address string The host name or IP address of the host.
username string A valid user name for power management.  
password string A valid, robust password for power management.  
options complex Fencing options for the selected type= specified with the option name="" and value="" strings.  
agents complex Specifies fence agent options when multiple fences are used. Use the order sub-element to prioritize the fence agents. Agents are run sequentially according to their order until the fence action succeeds. When two or more fence agents have the same order, they are run concurrently. Other sub-elements include type, ip, user, password, and options.  
automatic_pm_enabled Boolean: true or false Toggles the automated power control of the host in order to save energy. When set to true, the host will be automatically powered down if the cluster's load is low, and powered on again when required. This is set to true when a host is created, unless disabled by the user.  
kdump_detection Boolean: true or false Toggles whether to determine if kdump is running on the host before it is shut down. When set to true, the host will not shut down during a kdump process. This is set to true when a host has power management enabled, unless disabled by the user.  
The options element requires a list of option sub-elements. Each option requires a name and type attributes. Certain options are only available for specific fencing types as defined in the capabilities collection.
A new host includes an optional power_management configuration when POSTing to the host resource. The power_management configuration is updatable using a PUT request.

Example 14.3. An XML representation of a host's power management configuration

14.5. Memory Management Elements

The API provides two configuration settings for a host's memory management.
Kernel SamePage Merging (KSM) reduces references to memory pages from multiple identical pages to a single page reference. This helps with optimization for memory density. KSM uses the ksm element.

Example 14.4. Setting KSM memory management

PUT /ovirt-engine/api/hosts/2ab5e1da-b726-4274-bbf7-0a42b16a0fc3 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-Type: application/xml

<host id="2ab5e1da-b726-4274-bbf7-0a42b16a0fc3"
  href="/ovirt-engine/api/hosts/2ab5e1da-b726-4274-bbf7-0a42b16a0fc3">
    <ksm>true</ksm>
</host>
Transparent Hugepage support expands the size of memory pages beyond the standard 4kB limit. This reduces memory consumption and increases host performance. Transparent Hugepage support uses the transparent_hugepages element.

Example 14.5. Setting Transparent Hugepage memory management

PUT /ovirt-engine/api/hosts/2ab5e1da-b726-4274-bbf7-0a42b16a0fc3 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-Type: application/xml

<host id="2ab5e1da-b726-4274-bbf7-0a42b16a0fc3"
  href="/ovirt-engine/api/hosts/2ab5e1da-b726-4274-bbf7-0a42b16a0fc3">
    <transparent_hugepages>true</transparent_hugepages>
</host>
Availability of Transparent Hugepage support is found in the capabilities collection.

14.6. Methods

14.6.1. Creating a Host

Creation of a new host requires the name, address and root_password elements.

Example 14.6. Creating a host

POST /ovirt-engine/api/hosts HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<host>
    <name>host2</name>
    <address>host2.example.com</address>
    <root_password>p@55w0Rd!</root_password>
</host>
The root_password element is only included in the client-provided initial representation and is not exposed in the representations returned from subsequent requests.

14.6.2. Updating a Host

The name, description, cluster, power_management, transparent_hugepages and ksm elements are updatable post-creation.

Example 14.7. Updating a host

POST /ovirt-engine/api/hosts/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<host>
    <name>host3</name>
</host>

14.6.3. Removing a Host

Removal of a host requires a DELETE request.

Example 14.8. Removing a host

DELETE /ovirt-engine/api/hosts/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 HTTP/1.1

HTTP/1.1 204 No Content

14.7. Sub-Collections

14.7.1. Host Network Attachments Sub-Collection

The network_attachments sub-collection represents the network configuration of the host. Each network_attachment element represents a network attached to the host and contains the following elements:

Table 14.3. Elements for a host's network attachments

</network_attachment>
When attaching a network to a host, the network and host_nic elements are required, with either an id or a name. The host_nic ID can refer to either an unused network interface card or a bond.

Example 14.10. Attach a network to a host

POST /ovirt-engine/api/hosts/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/nics/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/networkattachments HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<network_attachment>
    <network id="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"/>
    <host_nic id="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"/>
</network_attachment>
The host_nic, ip_address_assignments, and properties elements are updatable post-creation. Changing the host_nic ID moves the network to a different network interface card.

Example 14.11. Modifying a host network attachment

PUT /ovirt-engine/api/hosts/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/nics/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/networkattachments/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 HTTP/1.1

	    </value>
        </property>
    </properties>
</network_attachment>
Detach a network from the host with a DELETE request on the network attachment.

Example 14.12. Detach a network from a host

DELETE /ovirt-engine/api/hosts/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/nics/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/networkattachments/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

14.7.2.2. Bonded Interfaces

A bonded interface is represented as a host_nic resource containing a bonding element.

Table 14.5. Bonded interface properties

Element Type Description Properties
options complex A list of option elements for a bonded interface. Each option contains property name and value attributes. [a]
slaves complex A list of slave host_nic id= elements for a bonded interface. [b]
[a] Only required when adding bonded interfaces. Other interfaces are read-only and cannot be added.
[b] Only required when adding bonded interfaces. Other interfaces are read-only and cannot be added.
An API user creates a new bond when creating a new host_nic (POST) or updating a host_nic (PUT). Use either the id or name elements to identify the slave host_nic elements. When adding a new network interface, the name and network elements are required. Identify the network element with the id attribute or name element.

Example 14.14. Creating a bonded interface

POST /ovirt-engine/api/hosts/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/nics HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-Type: application/xml

<host_nic>
    <name>bond4</name>
    <network id="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"/>
    <bonding>
        <slaves>
            <host_nic id="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"/>
            <host_nic id="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"/>
        </slaves>
    </bonding>
</host_nic>

Important

bond0, bond1, bond2, bond3 and bond4 are the only valid names for a bonded interface.

Example 14.15. Removing a bonded interface

Remove a bonded interface with a DELETE request.
DELETE /ovirt-engine/api/hosts/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/nics/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 HTTP/1.1

The vms collection provides information about virtual machines in a Red Hat Virtualization environment. An API user accesses this information through the rel="vms" link obtained from the entry point URI.
Additional information can be retrieved for GET requests using the All-Content: true header.
The following table shows specific elements contained in a virtual machine resource representation.

Table 15.1. Virtual machine elements

Element Type Description Properties

link rel="numanodes" relationship A link to the numanodes sub-collection for virtual machine resources.  
link rel="cdroms" relationship A link to the cdroms sub-collection for virtual machine resources.  
link rel="snapshots" relationship A link to the snapshots sub-collection for virtual machine resources.  
link rel="tags" relationship A link to the tags sub-collection for virtual machine resources.  
link rel="permissions" relationship A link to the permissions sub-collection for virtual machine permissions.  
link rel="statistics" relationship A link to the statistics sub-collection for virtual machine resources.
link rel="reporteddevices"
relationship
A link to the reporteddevices sub-collection for virtual machine resources.
 
link rel="watchdogs"
relationship
A link to the watchdogs sub-collection for virtual machine resources.
 
link rel="sessions"
relationship
A link to the sessions sub-collection for virtual machine resources.
 
type enumerated The virtual machine type. A list of enumerated values are available in capabilities.
status See below The virtual machine status.
memory integer The amount of memory allocated to the guest in bytes.
cpu complex
Defines CPU details for the virtual machine. The topology sub-element sets number of logical sockets available to the guest and the number of cores per socket. The total cores available to the virtual machine equals the number of sockets multiplied by the cores per socket.
The cputune sub-element maps virtual CPUs to physical host CPUs using a series of vcpupin elements. Each vcpupin elements contains a virtual CPU attribute (vcpu) and an attribute to define which physical to use (cpuset). Set the cpuset to either a single CPU (cpuset="0"), multiple CPUs (cpuset="0,2"), a CPU range (cpuset="0-3") or a CPU range with exclusion (cpuset="0-3,^2").
The cpu_mode sub-element defines how closely the virtual CPU relates to the host CPU. It has three values: custom is the default if no mode is given, host_model copies the host CPU as best as libvirt can understand, and host_passthrough passes all aspects of the host to the guest, even those that libvirt does not recognize. However, host_passthrough will prevent migration of that virtual machine.
os type= string, e.g. RHEL5 or WindowsXP The guest operating system type.
os boot dev= enumerated A list of boot devices described by a dev attribute on a boot element. A list of enumerated values are available in capabilities.
os kernel string A path to a kernel image the virtual machine is configured to boot. This option supports booting a Linux kernel directly rather than through the BIOS bootloader.
os initrd string A path to an initrd image to be used with the previously specified kernel. This option supports booting a Linux kernel directly rather than through the BIOS bootloader.
os cmdline string A kernel command line parameter string to be used with the defined kernel. This option supports booting a Linux kernel directly rather than through the BIOS bootloader.
high_availability complex Set enabled to true if the virtual machine should be automatically restarted if the virtual machine or its host crashes. A priority element controls the order in which virtual machines are re-started.  
display complex
The display type (either vnc or spice), port, and the number of monitors. The allow_reconnect Boolean value specifies if a client can reconnect to the machine via display.
The smartcard_enabled sub-element is a Boolean (true or false) to specify if a Smartcard attached to a client is passed through to a virtual machine. The default is false.
 
cluster id= GUID A reference to the virtual machine's host cluster.
template id= GUID A reference to the template on which this virtual machine is based.
domain id= GUID A reference to the virtual machine's domain.
start_time xsd:dateTime format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss The date and time at which this virtual machine was started.
stop_time xsd:dateTime format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss The date and time at which this virtual machine was stopped.
creation_time xsd:dateTime format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss The date and time at which this virtual machine was created.
origin One of rhev, ovirt, vmware or xen The system from which this virtual machine originated.
stateless Boolean: true or false true if the virtual machine is stateless. A stateless virtual machine contains a snapshot of its disk image taken at boot and deleted at shutdown. This means state changes do not persist after a reboot.  
delete_protected Boolean: true or false If set to true, the virtual machine cannot be deleted.  
sso string A reference to the method of single sign-on for the virtual machine. Includes a method element with an ip attribute.  
placement_policy complex Sets the placement policy for virtual machine migration. Requires a default host= and an affinity (one of migratable, user_migratable or pinned). Leave the host element empty to set no preferred host. Use multiple host elements to specify a subset of preferred hosts within a cluster.  
memory_policy complex Sets the memory policy for virtual machines. Defines the minimum amount of guaranteed memory on a host in order for the virtual machine to run.  
quota id= GUID Sets a quota for the virtual machine.  
custom_properties complex A set of user-defined environment variable passed as parameters to custom scripts. Each custom_property contains name and value attributes. A list of enumerated values are available in capabilities.  
usb complex Defines the USB policy for a virtual machine. Requires an enabled element set to a Boolean value and a type element set to either native or legacy.

Important

The Legacy USB option has been deprecated and will be removed in Red Hat Virtualization 4.1.
 
migration_downtime integer Represents the maximum number of milliseconds the virtual machine can be down during live migration. A value of 0 means that the VDSM default will be used.  
cpu_profile id= GUID A reference to the virtual machine's cpu profile.  
next_run_configuration Boolean: true or false true if changes to the virtual machine's configuration will be applied when the virtual machine is next restarted.  
numa_tune_mode string Reference to the mode of memory allocation (interleave, strict, or preferred) of the host NUMA node.  
guest_info complex A reference to the guest client information. Includes an ip element with an address= attribute.
vmpool complex A reference to the virtual machine pool. This element only appears for virtual machines part of a pool.
timezone tz database format: Area/Location The Sysprep timezone setting for a Windows virtual machine.  
domain complex The Sysprep domain setting for a Windows virtual machine. Requires a name from the domains collection.  
initialization complex
Defines a list of values applied to the virtual machine on boot using Cloud-Init for Linux-based virtual machines, or Sysprep for Windows-based virtual machines.

Cloud-Init

  • host_name: The host name of the virtual machine.
  • timezone: The time zone for the virtual machine.
  • user_name: The user name for the virtual machine.

  • dns_servers: A space-separated list of DNS servers.
  • dns_search: A space-separated list of DNS search domains.
  • nic_configurations: Defines a network interface controller for the virtual machine. Network interface controllers are defined as nic_configuration objects under this collection that each specify the name, ip, boot_protocol, and on_boot.
  • custom_script: A custom script to run on the virtual machine when it starts.

Sysprep

  • host_name: The host name of the virtual machine.
  • domain: The domain of which the virtual machine is a member.
  • authorized_ssh_keys: SSH keys to be added to the authorized keys file of the virtual machine. You can enter multiple SSH keys by separating each SSH key with a line break.
  • regenerate_ssh_keys: Whether to regenerate SSH key for the virtual machine. Possible values are true or false.
  • timezone: The time zone for the virtual machine.
  • root_password: The password for the admin user of the virtual machine.
  • custom_script: A custom script to run on the virtual machine when it starts.

payloads complex
Defines a set of payload elements to deliver content to a virtual machine upon boot. Each payload requires a type attribute, either cdrom or floppy, and a set of file elements. Within each file element is a name element that specifies the name and location of the file, and a content element that defines the content to deliver to the file.
The payloads element is used by the cloud-init feature. When cloud-init is used to configure a virtual machine, a payload is automatically created with the type attribute set to cd-rom and two file sub-elements, openstack/latest/meta_data.json and openstack/latest/user_data, which pass configuration parameters to the virtual machine.
 
The status contains one of the following enumerative values: unassigned, down, up, powering_up, powered_down, paused, migrating_from, migrating_to, unknown, not_responding, wait_for_launch, reboot_in_progress, saving_state, restoring_state, suspended, image_illegal, image_locked or powering_down. These states are listed in vm_states under capabilities.

15.3. XML Representation of Additional OVF Data for a Virtual Machine

Use a GET request for a virtual machine with the All-Content: true header to include additional OVF data with the representation of the virtual machine.
The Accept header defaults to application/xml if left blank, and the data is represented with HTML entities so as not to interfere with the XML tags. Specifying the Accept: application/json header will return the data in standard XML tagging. This example representation has been formatted from its standard block format to improve legibility.

15.5. Methods

15.5.1. Creating a Virtual Machine

Creating a new virtual machine requires the name, template, and cluster elements. Identify the template and cluster elements with the id attribute or name element. Identify the CPU profile ID with the cpuprofiles attribute.

Example 15.4. Creating a virtual machine with 512 MB that boots from CD-ROM

POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<vm>
    <name>vm2</name>
    <description>Virtual Machine 2</description>
    <type>desktop</type>
    <memory>536870912</memory>
    <cluster>
        <name>default</name>
    </cluster>
    <template>
        <name>Blank</name>
    </template>
    <os>
        <boot dev="cdrom"/>
    </os>
    <cdroms>
        <cdrom>
            <file id="example_windows_7_x64_dvd_u_677543.iso"/>
        </cdrom>
    </cdroms>
    <cpu_profile id="0000001a-001a-001a-001a-00000000035e"/>
</vm>

Example 15.5. Creating a virtual machine with 512 MB that boots from a virtual hard disk

POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<vm>
    <name>vm2</name>
    <description>Virtual Machine 2</description>
    <type>desktop</type>
    <memory>536870912</memory>
    <cluster>
        <name>default</name>
    </cluster>
    <template>
        <name>Blank</name>
    </template>
    <os>
      <boot dev="hd"/>
    </os>
    <cpu_profile id="0000001a-001a-001a-001a-00000000035e"/>
</vm>

Note

Memory in the previous example is converted to bytes using the following formula:
512MB * 1024 2 = 536870912 bytes

15.5.2. Updating a Virtual Machine

The name, description, cluster, type, memory, cpu, os, high_availability, display, timezone, domain, stateless, placement_policy, memory_policy, usb, payloads, origin and custom_properties elements are updatable post-creation.

Example 15.6. Updating a virtual machine to contain 1 GB of memory

PUT /ovirt-engine/api/vms/082c794b-771f-452f-83c9-b2b5a19c0399 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<vm>
    <memory>1073741824</memory>
</vm>

Note

Memory in the previous example is converted to bytes using the following formula:
1024MB * 1024 2 = 1073741824 bytes

Note

Memory hot plug is supported in Red Hat Virtualization. If the virtual machine's operating system supports memory hot plug, you can use the example above to increase memory while the virtual machine is running.

Example 15.7. Hot plugging vCPUs

Add virtual CPUs to a running virtual machine without having to reboot it. In this example, the number of sockets is changed to 2.
PUT /ovirt-engine/api/vms/082c794b-771f-452f-83c9-b2b5a19c0399 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<vm>
    <cpu>
        <topology sockets="2" cores="1"/>
    </cpu>
</vm>

Note

CPU hot unplug is currently not supported in Red Hat Virtualization.

Example 15.8. Pinning a virtual machine to multiple hosts

A virtual machine that is pinned to multiple hosts cannot be live migrated, but in the event of a host failure, any virtual machine configured to be highly available is automatically restarted on one of the other hosts to which the virtual machine is pinned. Multi-host pinning can be used to restrict a virtual machine to hosts with, for example, the same hardware configuration.
PUT /ovirt-engine/api/vms/082c794b-771f-452f-83c9-b2b5a19c0399 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<vm>
    <high_availability>
        <enabled>true</enabled>
        <priority>1</priority>
    </high_availability>
    <placement_policy>
        <hosts>
            <host><name>Host1</name></host>
            <host><name>Host2</name></host>
        </hosts>
        <affinity>pinned</affinity>
    </placement_policy>
</vm>

15.5.3. Removing a Virtual Machine

Removal of a virtual machine requires a DELETE request.

Example 15.9. Removing a virtual machine

DELETE /ovirt-engine/api/vms/082c794b-771f-452f-83c9-b2b5a19c0399 HTTP/1.1

HTTP/1.1 204 No Content

15.5.4. Removing a Virtual Machine but not the Virtual Disk

Detach the virtual disk prior to removing the virtual machine. This preserves the virtual disk. Removal of a virtual machine requires a DELETE request.

Example 15.10. Removing a virtual machine

DELETE /ovirt-engine/api/vms/082c794b-771f-452f-83c9-b2b5a19c0399 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<action>
    <vm>
        <disks>
            <detach_only>true</detach_only>
        </disks>
    </vm>
</action>

15.6. Sub-Collections

15.6.1. Disks Sub-Collection

15.6.1.1. Disks Sub-Collection

The disks sub-collection represents all virtual hard disk devices on a virtual machine. A disk representation contains the following elements:

Table 15.2. Elements for virtual disks

Element Type Description Properties
link rel="statistics" relationship A link to the statistics sub-collection for a virtual machine's disk statistics.
link rel="permissions" relationship A link to the permissions sub-collection.
alias string The unique identifier for the disk. Use alias instead of name.
image_id string A reference to the virtual machine image stored on the defined storage domain.
storage_domains complex The storage domains associated with this disk. Each storage_domain element contains an id attribute with the associated storage domain's GUID. Update this element with POST to perform live migration of a disk from one data storage domain to another. [a]
size integer Size of the disk in bytes. Deprecated; replaced by provisioned_size.
provisioned_size integer The provisioned size of the disk in bytes.
actual_size integer Actual size of the disk in bytes.
status One of illegal, invalid, locked or ok The status of the disk device. These states are listed in disk_states under capabilities.
interface enumerated The type of interface driver used to connect to the disk device. A list of enumerated values is available in capabilities.  
format enumerated The underlying storage format. A list of enumerated values is available in capabilities. Copy On Write (COW) allows snapshots, with a small performance overhead. Raw does not allow snapshots, but offers improved performance.
sparse Boolean: true or false true if the physical storage for the disk should not be preallocated.
bootable Boolean: true or false true if this disk is to be marked as bootable.  
shareable Boolean: true or false true to share the disk with multiple virtual machines.  
wipe_after_delete Boolean: true or false true if the underlying physical storage for the disk should be zeroed when the disk is deleted. This increases security but is a more intensive operation and may prolong delete times.  
propagate_errors Boolean: true or false true if disk errors should not cause virtual machine to be paused and, instead, disk errors should be propagated to the guest OS.  
vm id= GUID The ID of the containing virtual machine.
quota id= GUID Sets a quota for the disk.  
lun_storage complex A reference to a direct LUN mapping for storage usage. Requires a logical_unit element that contains iSCSI or FCP device details.
active Boolean Defines if the disk is connected to the virtual machine.
read_only Boolean Defines if the disk is read-only.
link rel="disk_profile" relationship A link to the disk_profile sub-collection.
[a] This element is only required if the disk is being added to a virtual machine and not created from a virtual machine template.

Example 15.31. Updating a virtual NUMA node

PUT /ovirt-engine/api/vms/c7ecd2dc-dbd3-4419-956f-1249651c0f2b/numanodes/3290b973-ed3e-4f0b-bbf5-9be10d229e50 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<vm_numa_node>
  <numa_node_pins>
    <numa_node_pin pinned="true" index="0">
      <host_numa_node id="417cdefb-8c47-4838-87f3-dd0498fdf6c7"/>
    </numa_node_pin>
  </numa_node_pins>
</vm_numa_node>
Remove a virtual NUMA node with a DELETE request.

Example 15.32. Removing a virtual NUMA node

DELETE /ovirt-engine/api/vms/c7ecd2dc-dbd3-4419-956f-1249651c0f2b/numanodes/3290b973-ed3e-4f0b-bbf5-9be10d229e50 HTTP/1.1

15.6.4. CD-ROMs Sub-Collection

The cdroms sub-collection represents the CD-ROM device on a virtual machine. A cdrom representation contains the following elements:

Table 15.9. Elements for virtual machine CD-ROMs

Element Type Description Properties
file id= string/filename A reference to an ISO image.  

Example 15.33. An XML representation of a CD-ROM device

<cdrom id="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
  href="/ovirt-engine/api/vms/cdc0b102-fbfe-444a-b9cb-57d2af94f401/cdroms/
  00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000">
    <file id="rhel-server-6.0-x86_64-dvd.iso"/>
    <vm id="cdc0b102-fbfe-444a-b9cb-57d2af94f401"
      href="/ovirt-engine/api/vms/cdc0b102-fbfe-444a-b9cb-57d2af94f401"/>
</cdrom>
Send a PUT request with a file id element to add a new CD-ROM resource.

Example 15.34. Adding a new CD-ROM file

PUT /ovirt-engine/api/vms/cdc0b102-fbfe-444a-b9cb-57d2af94f401/cdroms/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml
      
<cdrom>
    <file id="fedora-15-x86_64-dvd.iso"/>
</cdrom>
The API changes the CD-ROM using a PUT request:

Example 15.35. Changing a CD-ROM file

PUT /ovirt-engine/api/vms/cdc0b102-fbfe-444a-b9cb-57d2af94f401/cdroms/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml
      
<cdrom>
    <file id="fedora-15-x86_64-dvd.iso"/>
</cdrom>
The API changes the CD-ROM for the current session only using a PUT request with an additional current URI argument:

Example 15.36. Changing a CD-ROM file during a current session

PUT /ovirt-engine/api/vms/cdc0b102-fbfe-444a-b9cb-57d2af94f401/cdroms/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000;current=true HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml
      
<cdrom>
    <file id="fedora-15-x86_64-dvd.iso"/>
</cdrom>
To eject the CD-ROM temporarily, send a PUT request to the cdroms sub-collection of a virtual machine, adding the current=true matrix parameter:

Example 15.37. Ejecting a CD-ROM file during a current session

PUT /ovirt-engine/api/vms/cdc0b102-fbfe-444a-b9cb-57d2af94f401/cdroms/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000;current=true HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml
<cdrom>
  <file id=""/>
</cdrom>

Note

Rebooting the virtual machine will connect the CD-ROM again.
To eject the CD-ROM permanently, send a PUT request to the cdroms sub-collection of a virtual machine:

Example 15.38. Ejecting a CD-ROM file permanently

PUT /ovirt-engine/api/vms/cdc0b102-fbfe-444a-b9cb-57d2af94f401/cdroms/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml
<cdrom>
  <file id=""/>
</cdrom>

Note

Virtual machines only contain a single CD-ROM device.

15.6.5. Snapshots Sub-Collection

15.6.5.1. Snapshots Sub-Collection

A virtual machine saves and restores disk state as a number of snapshots. These are represented and managed through a rel="snapshot" sub-collection that behaves similar to other collections.
Each virtual machine snapshot is represented with an individual snapshot element that contains the following sub-elements:

Table 15.10. Elements for virtual machine snapshots

Element Type Description Properties
vm id= GUID The ID and URI of the virtual machine to which this snapshot pertains.
link rel="restore" relationship A link to restore the snapshot of the virtual machine.
link rel="prev" relationship A link to the previous snapshot of this virtual machine.
type string The type of the snapshot. For example, active or regular.
date xsd:dateTime format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss The date and time at which the snapshot was created.
snapshot_status string The current status of the snapshot.
persist_memorystate Boolean Defines whether the snapshot also includes the state of the memory of the virtual machine at the time the snapshot was taken.

Note

It is not possible to modify snapshot elements using PUT.

Example 15.39. An XML representation of a virtual machine snapshot

<snapshot id="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
  href="/ovirt-engine/api/vms/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/snapshots/
  00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000">
    <actions>
      <link rel="restore"
      href="/ovirt-engine/api/vms/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/snapshots/
      00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/restore"/>
    <link rel="prev"
      href="/ovirt-engine/api/vms/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/snapshots/
    </actions>
    <vm id="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
      href="/ovirt-engine/api/vms/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"/>
    <description>Virtual Machine 1 - Snapshot A</description>
    <type>active</type>
    <date>2010-08-16T14:24:29</date>
    <snapshot_status>ok</snapshot_status>
    <persist_memorystate>false</persist_memorystate>
</snapshot>
Use a GET request for a virtual machine snapshot with the All-Content: true header to include additional OVF data with the representation of the snapshot.
The Accept header defaults to application/xml if left blank, and the data is represented with HTML entities so as not to interfere with the XML tags. Specifying the Accept: application/json header will return the data in standard XML tagging. This example representation has been formatted from its standard block format to improve legibility.

Example 15.40. XML representation of additional ovf data for a snapshot

GET /ovirt-engine/api/vms/42ec2621-7ad6-4ca2-bd68-973a44b2562e/snapshots HTTP/1.1
All-Content: true

You can create a snapshot of a virtual machine that is running (a live snapshot) or shut down by using the POST method:

Example 15.41. Creating a Virtual Machine Snapshot

POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/snapshots/ HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<snapshot>
<description>Snapshot description</description>
</snapshot>

Important

Before taking a live snapshot of a virtual machine that uses OpenStack Volume (Cinder) disks, you must freeze and thaw the guest filesystem manually. See Section 15.7.14, “Freeze Virtual Machine Filesystems Action” and Section 15.7.15, “Thaw Virtual Machine Filesystems Action” for more information.
You can restore a virtual machine snapshot using the rel="restore" action link in the snapshot representation:

Example 15.42. Restoring a Virtual Machine Snapshot

POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/snapshots/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/restore HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<action/>

15.6.5.2. Clone a Virtual Machine from a Snapshot

API provides a function to create virtual machines from a snapshot of a previous machine. API users create a new virtual machine while retaining the original virtual machine with all snapshots intact.
Creation of a virtual machines from a snapshot requires an additional snapshots element to a standard representation of a virtual machine, which a user sends in a POST request to the vms collection.
The snapshots element contains a snapshot id= element to define the specific snapshot to use as a basis for the virtual machine.

Example 15.43. Clone Virtual Machine from Snapshot

POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<vm>
  ...
  <snapshots>
    <snapshot id="3f68ee63-0016-4f8c-9b8a-11d9f28f7c9e"/>
  </snapshots>
  ...
</vm>

15.6.6. Statistics Sub-Collection

Each virtual machine resource exposes a statistics sub-collection for virtual machine-specific statistics. Each statistic contains the following elements:

Table 15.11. Elements for virtual machine statistics

Element Type Description
name string The unique identifier for the statistic entry.
description string A plain text description of the statistic.
unit string The unit or rate to measure the statistical values.
type One of GAUGE or COUNTER The type of statistic measures.
values type= One of INTEGER or DECIMAL The data type for the statistical values that follow.
value complex A data set that contains datum.
datum see values type An individual piece of data from a value.
vm id= relationship A relationship to the containing vm resource.
The following table lists the statistic types for virtual machines.

Table 15.12. Virtual machine statistic types

Name
Description
memory.installed
Total memory in bytes allocated for the virtual machine's use.
memory.used
Current memory in bytes used by the virtual machine.
cpu.current.guest
Percentage of CPU used by the guest.
cpu.current.hypervisor
Percentage of CPU overhead on the hypervisor.
cpu.current.total
Total percentage of the current CPU in use.

Example 15.44. An XML representation of a virtual machine's statistics sub-collection

    </statistic>
    ...
</statistics>

Note

A virtual machine's statistics sub-collection is read-only.

15.6.7. Displaying Virtual Machine Session Information

Submit a GET request for a virtual machine and use the session sub-collection to view the session information for the user that initiated the SPICE console session and the user logged in to the virtual machine.
The session information of a virtual machine is listed as a sub-collection:

Example 15.45. Displaying the session information of a virtual machine

GET /ovirt-engine/api/roles/a1a701f1-aa06-4f02-af17-158be31489b3/sessions HTTP/1.1

15.7. Actions

15.7.1. Start Virtual Machine Action

The start action launches a stopped, shutdown, or suspended virtual machine.

Example 15.46. Action to start a virtual machine

POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms/5114bb3e-a4e6-44b2-b783-b3eea7d84720/start HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<action/>
The start action allows a vm element to be provided as a parameter. If a vm element is provided, the virtual machine uses the values from the provided element and overrides system settings at start time. Using the start action with the vm element in REST API is equivalent to using the Run Once window in the Administration or User Portal. These settings persist until a user stops the virtual machine. Examples of these elements include os, domain, placement_policy, cdroms, stateless and display type.

Example 15.47. Action to start a virtual machine with overridden parameters

POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms/5114bb3e-a4e6-44b2-b783-b3eea7d84720/start HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<action>
    <pause>true</pause>
    <vm>
        <stateless>true</stateless>
        <display>
            <type>spice</type>
        </display>
        <os>
            <boot dev="cdrom"/>
        </os>

                <file id="windows-xp.iso"/>
            </cdrom>
        </cdroms>
        <floppies>
            <floppy>
                <file id="virtio-win_x86.vfd"/>
            </floppy>
       </floppies>
        <domain>
            <name>domain.example.com</name>
            <user>
                <user_name>domain_user</user_name>
                <password>domain_password</password>
            </user>
        </domain>
        <placement_policy>
            <host id="02447ac6-bcba-448d-ba2b-f0f453544ed2"/>       
        </placement_policy>
    </vm>
</action>

Note

  • The domain element is used for Windows systems only for overriding parameters on boot with the start action. The domain element determines the domain that the Windows virtual machine joins. If the domain does not exist in the domains collection, this element requires additional user authentication details, including a user_name and password. If the domain exists in the domains collection, the action requires no additional user authentication details.
  • The CD image and floppy disk file must be available in the ISO domain already. If not, use the ISO uploader tool to upload the files. See The ISO Uploader Tool for more information.

15.7.2. Start Virtual Machine with Cloud-Init Action

Cloud-Init is a tool for automating the initial setup of virtual machines. You can use the tool to configure the host name, network interfaces, the DNS service, authorized keys, and set user names and passwords. You can also use the custom_script tag to specify a custom script to run on the virtual machine when it boots.

Note

The cloud-init element can only be used to start virtual machines with the cloud-init package installed. When the cloud-init element is used, any element within the initialization element but outside the cloud-init element will be ignored.

Example 15.48. Action to start a virtual machine using Cloud-Init

This example shows you how to start a virtual machine using the Cloud-Init tool to set the host name, change the root password, set a static IP for the eth0 interface, configure DNS, and add an SSH key for the root user.

Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<action/>

15.7.5. Suspend Virtual Machine Action

The suspend action saves the virtual machine state to disk and stops it. Start a suspended virtual machine and restore the virtual machine state with the start action.

Example 15.51. Action to save virtual machine state and suspend the machine

POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms/5114bb3e-a4e6-44b2-b783-b3eea7d84720/suspend HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<action/>

15.7.6. Reboot Virtual Machine Action

The reboot action sends a reboot request to a virtual machine.

Example 15.52. Action to send a reboot request to a virtual machine

POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms/5114bb3e-a4e6-44b2-b783-b3eea7d84720/reboot HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<action/>

15.7.7. Enable user logon to access a virtual machine from an external console

The logon action enables users to access a virtual machine from consoles outside of the Red Hat Virtualization environment.
This action requires the rhevm-guest-agent-gdm-plugin and the rhevm-guest-agent-pam-module packages to be installed and the ovirt-guest-agent service to be running on the virtual machine.
Users require the appropriate user permissions for the virtual machine in order to access the virtual machine from an external console.

Example 15.53. Logging onto a virtual machine

POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms/5114bb3e-a4e6-44b2-b783-b3eea7d84720/logon HTTP/1.1

Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<action/>

15.7.9. Migrate Virtual Machine Action

The migrate action migrates a virtual machine to another physical host. The destination host element is an optional element as Red Hat Virtualization Manager automatically selects a default host for migration. If an API user requires a specific host, the user can specify the host with either an id or name parameter.

Example 15.55. Action to migrate a virtual machine to another host

POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms/5114bb3e-a4e6-44b2-b783-b3eea7d84720/migrate HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<action/>

15.7.11. Export Virtual Machine Action

Note

The export storage domain is deprecated. Storage data domains can be unattached from a data center and imported to another data center in the same environment, or in a different environment. Virtual machines, floating virtual disk images, and templates can then be uploaded from the imported storage domain to the attached data center. See the Importing Existing Storage Domains section in the Red Hat Virtualization Administration Guide for information on importing storage domains.
The export action exports a virtual machine to an export storage domain. A destination storage domain must be specified with a storage_domain reference.
The export action reports a failed action if a virtual machine of the same name exists in the destination domain. Set the exclusive parameter to true to change this behavior and overwrite any existing virtual machine.
If snapshots of the virtual machine are not included with the exported virtual machine, set the discard_snapshots parameter to true.

Example 15.57. Action to export a virtual machine to an export storage domain

POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms/5114bb3e-a4e6-44b2-b783-b3eea7d84720/export HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<action>
    <storage_domain>
        <name>export1</name>
    </storage_domain>
    <exclusive>true</exclusive>
    <discard_snapshots>true</discard_snapshots>
</action>

15.7.12. Virtual Machine Ticket Action

The ticket action generates a time-sensitive authentication token for accessing a virtual machine's display. The client-provided action optionally includes a ticket representation containing a value (if the token string needs to take on a particular form) and/or an expiry time in minutes. In any case, the response specifies the actual ticket value and expiry used.

Example 15.58. Action to generate authentication token for a virtual machine

15.7.13. Force Remove Virtual Machine Action

An API user forces the removal of a faulty virtual machine with the force action. This action requires a DELETE method. The request body contains an action representation with the force parameter set to true. The request also requires an additional Content-type: application/xml header to process the XML representation in the body.

Example 15.59. Force remove action on a virtual machine

DELETE /ovirt-engine/api/vms/5114bb3e-a4e6-44b2-b783-b3eea7d84720 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<action>
    <force>true</force>
</action>

15.7.14. Freeze Virtual Machine Filesystems Action

The freezefilesystems action freezes a virtual machine's filesystems using the QEMU guest agent when taking a live snapshot of a running virtual machine. Normally, this is done automatically by the Manager, but this must be executed manually with the REST API for virtual machines using OpenStack Volume (Cinder) disks.
Freezing the filesystems on the guest operating system ensures a consistent snapshot. Once the snapshot is finished, the guest filesystems must then be thawed. On virtual machines not using a OpenStack Volume disk, the freezing and thawing actions can also be invoked manually using the REST API, which can be useful in the case of a failure during the snapshot process.

Example 15.60. Action to freeze a virtual machine's filesystems

POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms/5114bb3e-a4e6-44b2-b783-b3eea7d84720/freezefilesystems HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<action/>
For more information on snapshots, see Section 15.6.5.1, “Snapshots Sub-Collection” or the Snapshots section in the Red Hat Virtualization Virtual Machine Management Guide.

15.7.15. Thaw Virtual Machine Filesystems Action

The thawfilesystems action thaws a virtual machine's filesystems using the QEMU guest agent when taking a live snapshot of a running virtual machine. Normally, this is done automatically by the Manager, but this must be executed manually with the REST API for virtual machines using OpenStack Volume (Cinder) disks.
Freezing the filesystems on the guest operating system ensures a consistent snapshot. Once the snapshot is finished, the guest filesystems must then be thawed. On virtual machines not using a OpenStack Volume disk, the freezing and thawing actions can also be invoked manually using the REST API, which can be useful in the case of a failure during the snapshot process. For example, if the virtual machine became unresponsive during thaw, you can execute the thaw operation again manually; otherwise the virtual machine may remain unresponsive.

Example 15.61. Action to thaw a virtual machine's filesystems

Chapter 16. Floating Disks

16.1. Floating Disk Elements

The disks collection provides information about all disks in a Red Hat Virtualization environment. A user attaches and detaches disks from any virtual machine and floats them between virtual machines. An API user accesses this information through the rel="disks" link obtained from the entry point URI.
The following table shows specific elements contained in a disks resource representation.

Table 16.1. Elements for floating disks

Element Type Description Properties
link rel="statistics" relationship A link to the statistics sub-collection for a virtual machine's disk statistics.
image_id GUID A reference to the virtual machine image stored on the defined storage domain.
storage_domains Complex The storage domains associated with this disk. Each storage_domain element contains an id attribute with the associated storage domain's GUID. Update this element with POST to perform live migration of a disk from one data storage domain to another.
size integer Size of the disk in bytes.
provisioned_size integer The provisioned size of the disk in bytes.
actual_size integer Actual size of the disk in bytes.
status One of illegal, invalid, locked or ok The status of the disk device. These states are listed in disk_states under capabilities.
interface enumerated The type of interface driver used to connect to the disk device. A list of enumerated values is available in capabilities.  
format enumerated The underlying storage format. A list of enumerated values is available in capabilities. Copy On Write (COW) allows snapshots, with a small performance overhead. Raw does not allow snapshots, but offers improved performance.
sparse Boolean: true or false true if the physical storage for the disk should not be preallocated.
bootable Boolean: true or false true if this disk is to be marked as bootable.  
shareable Boolean: true or false true to share the disk with multiple virtual machines.  
wipe_after_delete Boolean: true or false true if the underlying physical storage for the disk should be zeroed when the disk is deleted. This increases security but is a more intensive operation and may prolong delete times.  
propagate_errors Boolean: true or false true if disk errors should not cause virtual machine to be paused and, instead, disk errors should be propagated to the guest OS.  
quota id= GUID Sets a quota for the disk.  
lunStorage complex A reference to a direct LUN mapping for storage usage. Requires a storage element that contains iSCSI or FCP device details.
active Boolean Defines if the disk is connected to the virtual machine.

Important

Search queries for disks based upon name require the alias search parameter instead of name.

17.4. Actions

17.4.1. Export Template Action

Note

The export storage domain is deprecated. Storage data domains can be unattached from a data center and imported to another data center in the same environment, or in a different environment. Virtual machines, floating virtual disk images, and templates can then be uploaded from the imported storage domain to the attached data center. See the Importing Existing Storage Domains section in the Red Hat Virtualization Administration Guide for information on importing storage domains.
The templates collection contains an export action.
The export action exports a template to an Export storage domain. A destination storage domain is specified with a storage_domain reference.
The export action reports a failed action if a virtual machine template of the same name exists in the destination domain. Set the exclusive parameter to true to change this behavior and overwrite any existing virtual machine template.

Example 17.7. Action to export a template to an export storage domain

POST /ovirt-engine/api/templates/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/export HTTP/1.1

Chapter 22. Users

22.1. User Elements

Users are exposed in a top-level collection and are referenced with the rel="users" link. Individual user elements contain the following:

Table 22.1. User elements

Element Type Description Properties
user_name string The user principal name (UPN). The UPN is used as a more convenient identifier when adding a new user.
link rel="tags" relationship A link to the tags sub-collection for user resources.  
link rel="roles" relationship A link to the roles sub-collection for user resources.  
name string A free-text name for the user.
domain string The containing directory service domain.
groups complex A list of directory service groups for this user.

22.2. XML representation of a User Resource

Example 22.1. An XML representation of a user resource

GET /ovirt-engine/api/users HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml

<user id="225f15cd-e891-434d-8262-a66808fcb9b1"
  href="/ovirt-engine/api/users/225f15cd-e891-434d-8262-a66808fcb9b1">
    <name>RHEV-M Admin</name>
    <actions/>
    <link rel="roles"
      href="/ovirt-engine/api/users/225f15cd-e891-434d-8262-a66808fcb9b1/roles"/>
    <link rel="tags"
      href="/ovirt-engine/api/users/225f15cd-e891-434d-8262-a66808fcb9b1/tags"/>
    <domain>domain.example.com</domain>
    <logged_in>false</logged_in>
    <user_name>rhevmadmin@domain.example.com</user_name>
    <groups>
        <group>Group Policy Creator Owners@domain.example.com/Users</group>
        <group>Domain Admins@domain.example.com/Users</group>
        <group>Enterprise Admins@domain.example.com/Users</group>
        <group>Schema Admins@domain.example.com/Users</group>
        <group>Administrators@domain.example.com/Builtin</group>
    </groups>
</user>

22.3. Methods

22.3.1. Adding a User

The API adds an existing directory service user to the Red Hat Virtualization Manager database with a POST request to the users collection. The client-provided new user representation includes an embedded roles list with at least one initial role to assign to the user. For example, the following request assigns two initial roles to the user joe@domain.example.com:

Example 22.2. Adding a user from directory service and assigning two roles

POST /ovirt-engine/api/users HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/xml
Accept: application/xml

<user>
    <user_name>joe@domain.example.com</user_name>
    <roles>
        <role>
            <name>RHEVMPowerUser</name>
        </role>
        <role id="00000000-0000-0000-0001-000000000003"/>
    </roles>
</user>
The new user is identified either by Red Hat Virtualization Manager user ID or via the directory service user principal name (UPN). The user ID format reported from the directory service domain might be different to the expected Red Hat Virtualization Manager format, such as in LDIF [5] , the ID has the opposite byte order and is base-64 encoded. Hence it is usually more convenient to refer to the new user by UPN.

Note

The user exists in the directory service domain before it is added to the Red Hat Virtualization Manager database. An API user has the option to query this domain through the domains collection prior to creation of the user.
Roles are identified either by name or ID. The example above shows both approaches.

22.3.2. Adding Roles to a User

Further roles are attached or detached with POST or DELETE requests to the roles sub-collection of an individual user. The example below illustrates how the API adds the RHEVMVDIUser role to the role assignments for a particular user.

Note

The embedded user roles list of the user element is only used for the initial creation. All interactions post-creation with the user's role assignments go through the roles sub-collection.

Example 22.3. Adding roles to a user

POST /ovirt-engine/api/users/225f15cd-e891-434d-8262-a66808fcb9b1/roles HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/xml
Accept: application/xml

<role>
    <name>RHEVMVDIUser</name>
</role>


[5] The LDAP Data Interchange Format is described in RFC 2849.

Chapter 23. MAC Address Pools

23.1. MAC Address Pool Elements

The macpools collection provides information about the MAC address pools in a Red Hat Virtualization environment. An API user accesses this information through the rel="macpools" link obtained from the entry point URI. The following table shows specific elements contained in a MAC address pool resource representation.

Table 23.1. MAC address pool elements

Element Type Description Properties
name string A plain text, human-readable name for the MAC address pool.

Chapter 24. Tags

24.1. Tag Elements

The tags collection provides information about tags in a Red Hat Virtualization environment. An API user accesses this information through the rel="tags" link obtained from the entry point URI.
The following table shows specific elements contained in a tag resource representation.

Table 24.1. Tag elements

Element Type Description Properties
host GUID A reference to the host which the tag is attached.
user GUID A reference to the user which the tag is attached.
vm GUID A reference to the VM which the tag is attached.
parent complex A reference to the VM which the tag is attached.  

24.2. XML Representation of a Tag Resource

Example 24.1. An XML representation of a tag resource

<tag id="f436ebfc-67f2-41bd-8ec6-902b6f7dcb5e"
  href="/ovirt-engine/api/tags/f436ebfc-67f2-41bd-8ec6-902b6f7dcb5e">
    <name>Finance</name>
    <description>Resources for the Finance department</description>
    <parent>
        <tag id="-1" href="/ovirt-engine/api/tags/-1"/>
    </parent>
</tag>

24.3. Associating Tags

24.3.1. Associating Tags With a Host, User or VM

The collection referenced by link rel="tags" from a host, user or vms represents the set of tags associated with the entity.
These tag representations also contain a host id, user id or vm id reference to the entity in question.
Associating a tag with an entity is achieved by POSTing a tag reference (identifying the tag either by its id or name) to the collection.

Example 24.2. Associating a tag with a virtual machine

POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms/5114bb3e-a4e6-44b2-b783-b3eea7d84720/tags HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-Type: application/xml

<tag>
    <name>Finance</name>
</tag>

HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Content-Type: application/xml

<tag id="f436ebfc-67f2-41bd-8ec6-902b6f7dcb5e"
  href="/ovirt-engine/api/vms/5114bb3e-a4e6-44b2-b783-b3eea7d84720/tags/
  f436ebfc-67f2-41bd-8ec6-902b6f7dcb5e">

      href="/ovirt-engine/api/vms/5114bb3e-a4e6-44b2-b783-b3eea7d84720"/>
</tag>

24.3.2. Removing a Tag

Removing an association is achieved with a DELETE request to the appropriate element in the collection.

Example 24.3. Removing a tag from a virtual machine

DELETE /ovirt-engine/api/vms/5114bb3e-a4e6-44b2-b783-b3eea7d84720/tags/f436ebfc-67f2-41bd-8ec6-902b6f7dcb5e HTTP/1.1

HTTP/1.1 204 No Content

24.3.3. Querying a Collection for Tagged Resources

To query the set of entities associated with a given tag, the collection/search URI template for the appropriate collection should be used to search for entities matching tag=MyTag.

Example 24.4. Querying a collection for tagged resources

GET /ovirt-engine/api/vms?search=tag%3DFinance HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/xml

<vms>
    <vm id="5114bb3e-a4e6-44b2-b783-b3eea7d84720"
      href="/ovirt-engine/api/vms/5114bb3e-a4e6-44b2-b783-b3eea7d84720">
        ...
    </vm>
    ...
</vms>

24.4. Parent Tags

24.4.1. Parent Tags

An API user assigns a parent element to a tag to create a hierarchical link to a parent tag. The tags are presented as a flat collection, which descends from the root tag, with tag representations containing a link element to a parent tag

Note

The root tag is a special pseudo-tag assumed as the default parent tag if no parent tag is specified. The root tag cannot be deleted nor assigned a parent tag.
This tag hierarchy is expressed in the following way:

Example 24.5. Tag Hierarchy

<tags>
    <tag id="-1" href="/ovirt-engine/api/tags/-1">
        <name>root</name>
        <description>root</description>
        <parent>
            <tag id="-1" href="/ovirt-engine/api/tags/-1"/>
        </parent>
    </tag>
    <tag id="f436ebfc-67f2-41bd-8ec6-902b6f7dcb5e"

Chapter 25. Events

25.1. Event Elements

The rel="events" link obtained from the entry point URI accesses the events collection and lists system events from Red Hat Virtualization Manager.

Table 25.1. Event elements

Element Type Description
description string A description of the system event
code integer The integer event code.
severity One of normal, warning, error or alert The level of severity for the event.
time xsd:dateTime format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss The timestamp indicating when the event happened.
correlation_id string The identification string for an action that is spread across layers of Red Hat Virtualization.
user id= GUID The identification code for the user who triggered the event.
origin string The source of the event. Standard events are reported by oVirt.
custom_id integer A custom identification number for custom events. Standard events have a custom_id of -1.
flood_rate integer The time, in seconds, during which the same event cannot reoccur in the event list. The default value is 30.
external_status complex The external health status of a host. Contains the state element, which can be one of ok, info, error, warning, or failure.

25.2. XML Representation of the Events Collection

Example 25.1. An XML representation of the events collection

<events>
    <event id="537" href="/ovirt-engine/api/events/537">
        <description>User vdcadmin logged in.</description>
        <code>30</code>
        <severity>normal</severity>
        <time>2011-01-12T10:48:27.827+02:00</time>
        <user id="9b9002d1-ec33-4083-8a7b-31f6b8931648"
          href="/ovirt-engine/api/users/9b9002d1-ec33-4083-8a7b-31f6b8931648"/>
    </event>
    ...
</events>

25.3. XML Representation of a Virtual Machine Creation Event

In addition to user, an event representation also contains a set of XML element relationships to resources relevant to the event.

Example 25.2. An XML representation of a virtual machine creation event

<event id="635" href="/ovirt-engine/api/events/635">
    <description>VM bar was created by rhevadmin.</description>
    <code>34</code>
    <severity>normal</severity>
    <time>2011-07-11T16:32:03.172+02:00</time>
    <user id="4621b611-43eb-4d2b-ae5f-1180850268c4"
      href="/ovirt-engine/api/users/4621b611-43eb-4d2b-ae5f-1180850268c4"/>
    <vm id="9b22d423-e16b-4dd8-9c06-c8e9358fbc66"
      href="/ovirt-engine/api/vms/9b22d423-e16b-4dd8-9c06-c8e9358fbc66"/>
    <storage_domain id="a8a0e93d-c570-45ab-9cd6-3c68ab31221f"
      href="/ovirt-engine/api/storagedomains/a8a0e93d-c570-45ab-9cd6-3c68ab31221f"/>
</event>
This example representation provides XML element relationships to a virtual machine resource and a storage domain resource.

25.4. Methods

25.4.1. Searching Events

The events collection provides search queries similar to other resource collections. An additional feature when searching the events collection is the ability to search from a certain event. This queries all of events since a specified event.
Querying from an event requires an additional from parameter added before the search query. This from argument references an event id code.

Example 25.3. Searching from an event

GET /ovirt-engine/api/events;from=1012?search=type%3D30 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
This displays all events with type set to 30 since id="1012"
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/xml
<events>
    <event id="1018" href="/ovirt-engine/api/events/1018">
        <description>User admin logged in.</description>
        <code>30</code>
        <severity>normal</severity>
        <time>2011-07-11T14:03:22.485+10:00</time>
        <user id="80b71bae-98a1-11e0-8f20-525400866c73"
          href="/ovirt-engine/api/users/80b71bae-98a1-11e0-8f20-525400866c73"/>
    </event>
    <event id="1016" href="/ovirt-engine/api/events/1016">
        <description>User admin logged in.</description>
        <code>30</code>
        <severity>normal</severity>
        <time>2011-07-11T14:03:07.236+10:00</time>
        <user id="80b71bae-98a1-11e0-8f20-525400866c73"
          href="/ovirt-engine/api/users/80b71bae-98a1-11e0-8f20-525400866c73"/>
    </event>
    <event id="1014" href="/ovirt-engine/api/events/1014">
        <description>User admin logged in.</description>
        <code>30</code>
        <severity>normal</severity>
        <time>2011-07-11T14:02:16.009+10:00</time>
        <user id="80b71bae-98a1-11e0-8f20-525400866c73"
          href="/ovirt-engine/api/users/80b71bae-98a1-11e0-8f20-525400866c73"/>
    </event>
</events>

Example 25.4. Searching using a specific event severity

GET /ovirt-engine/api/events?search=severity>normal HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
This displays all events with severity higher than normal. Severity levels include normal, warning, error and alert.
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/xml
<events>
    <event id="2823" href="/ovirt-engine/api/events/2823">
        <description>Host Host-05 has time-drift of 36002 seconds while maximum configured value is 300 seconds.</description>
        <code>604</code>
        <severity>warning</severity>
        <time>2015-07-11T14:03:22.485+10:00</time>
        <host href= "/ovirt-engine/api/hosts/44e52bb2-27d6-4d35-8038-0c4b4db89789" id="44e52bb2-27d6-4d35-8038-0c4b4db89789"/>
        <cluster href= "/ovirt-engine/api/clusters/00000001-0001-0001-0001-00000000021b" id="00000001-0001-0001-0001-00000000021b"/>
        <origin>oVirt</origin>
        <custom_id>-1</custom_id>
        <flood_rate>30</flood_rate>
    </event>
...
</events>

25.4.2. Paginating Events

A virtualization environment generates a large amount of events after a period of time. However, the API only displays a default number of events for one search query. To display more than the default, the API separates results into pages with the page command in a search query.
The following search query tells the API to paginate results using a page value in combination with the sortby clause:
sortby time asc page 1
The sortby clause defines the base element to order of the results and whether the results are ascending or descending. For search queries of events, set the base element to time and the order to ascending (asc) so the API displays all events from the creation of your virtualization environment.
The page condition defines the page number. One page equals the default number of events to list. Pagination begins at page 1. To view more pages, increase the page value:
sortby time asc page 2
sortby time asc page 3
sortby time asc page 4

Example 25.5. Paginating events

This example paginates event resources. The URL-encoded request is:
GET /ovirt-engine/api/events?search=sortby%20time%20asc%20page%201 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Increase the page value to view the next page of results.
GET /ovirt-engine/api/events?search=sortby%20time%20asc%20page%202 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Use an additional from argument to set the starting id.
GET /ovirt-engine/api/events?search=sortby%20time%20asc%20page%202&from=30 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml

25.4.3. Adding Events

The API can add custom events with a POST request to the events collection. A new event requires the description, severity, origin, and custom_id elements. Custom events can also include flood_rate, user id, and the id codes of any resources relevant to the event. host and storage_domain elements can contain the external_status element to set an external health status.

Example 25.6. Adding a custom event to the event list

POST /ovirt-engine/api/events HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<event>
  <description>The heat of the host is above 30 Oc</description>
  <severity>warning</severity>
  <origin>HP Openview</origin>
  <custom_id>1</custom_id>
  <flood_rate>30</flood_rate>
  <host id="f59a29cd-587d-48a3-b72a-db537eb21957" >
    <external_status>
       <state>warning</state>
    </external_status>
  </host>
</event>

25.4.4. Removing Events

Removal of an event from the event list requires a DELETE request.

Example 25.7. Removing an event

DELETE /ovirt-engine/api/events/1705 HTTP/1.1

HTTP/1.1 204 No Content

Appendix A. API Usage with cURL

A.1. API Usage with cURL

This appendix provides instructions on adapting REST requests for use with cURL. cURL is a command line tool for transferring data across various protocols, including HTTP, and supports multiple platforms such as Linux, Windows, Mac and Solaris. Most Linux distributions include cURL as a package.

A.2. Installing cURL

A Red Hat Enterprise Linux user installs cURL with the following terminal command:
yum install curl
For other platforms, seek installation instructions on the cURL website (http://curl.haxx.se/).

A.3. Using cURL

cURL uses a command line interface to send requests to a HTTP server. Integrating a request requires the following command syntax:
Usage: curl [options] uri
The uri refers to target HTTP address to send the request. This is a location on your Red Hat Virtualization Manager host within the API entry point path (/ovirt-engine/api).

cURL options

-X COMMAND, --request COMMAND
The request command to use. In the context of the REST API, use GET, POST, PUT or DELETE.
Example: -X GET
-H LINE, --header LINE
HTTP header to include with the request. Use multiple header options if more than one header is required.
Example: -H "Accept: application/xml" -H "Content-Type: application/xml"
-u USERNAME:PASSWORD, --user USERNAME:PASSWORD
The user name and password of the Red Hat Virtualization user. This attribute acts as a convenient replacement for the Authorization: header.
Example: -u admin@internal:p@55w0rd!
--cacert CERTIFICATE
The location of the certificate file for SSL communication to the REST API. The certificate file is saved locally on the client machine. Use the -k attribute to bypass SSL.
Example: --cacert ~/Certificates/rhevm.cer
-d BODY, --data BODY
The body to send for requests. Use with POST, PUT and DELETE requests. Ensure to specify the Content-Type: application/xml header if a body exists in the request.
Example: -d "<cdrom><file id='rhel-server-6.0-x86_64-dvd.iso'/></cdrom>"

A.4. Examples

A.4.1. GET Request with cURL

Example A.1. GET request

The following GET request lists the virtual machines in the vms collection. Note that a GET request does not contain a body.
GET /ovirt-engine/api/vms HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Adapt the method (GET), header (Accept: application/xml) and URI (https://[RHEVM-Host]:443/ovirt-engine/api/vms) into the following cURL command:
$ curl -X GET -H "Accept: application/xml" -u [USER:PASS] --cacert [CERT] https://[RHEVM-Host]:443/ovirt-engine/api/vms
An XML representation of the vms collection displays.

A.4.2. POST Request with cURL

Example A.2. POST request

The following POST request creates a virtual machine in the vms collection. Note that a POST request requires a body.
POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<vm>
  <name>vm1</name>
  <cluster>
    <name>default</name>
  </cluster>
  <template>
    <name>Blank</name>
  </template>
  <memory>536870912</memory> 
  <os>
    <boot dev="hd"/>
  </os>
</vm>
Adapt the method (POST), headers (Accept: application/xml and Content-type: application/xml), URI (https://[RHEVM-Host]:443/ovirt-engine/api/vms) and request body into the following cURL command:
$ curl -X POST -H "Accept: application/xml" -H "Content-type: application/xml" -u [USER:PASS] --cacert [CERT] -d "<vm><name>vm1</name><cluster><name>default</name></cluster><template><name>Blank</name></template><memory>536870912</memory><os><boot dev='hd'/></os></vm>" https://[RHEVM-Host]:443/ovirt-engine/api/vms
The REST API creates a new virtual machine and displays an XML representation of the resource.

A.4.3. PUT Request with cURL

Example A.3. PUT request

The following PUT request updates the memory of a virtual machine resource. Note that a PUT request requires a body.
PUT /ovirt-engine/api/vms/082c794b-771f-452f-83c9-b2b5a19c0399 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<vm>
    <memory>1073741824</memory>
</vm>
Adapt the method (PUT), headers (Accept: application/xml and Content-type: application/xml), URI (https://[RHEVM-Host]:443/ovirt-engine/api/vms/082c794b-771f-452f-83c9-b2b5a19c0399) and request body into the following cURL command:
$ curl -X PUT -H "Accept: application/xml" -H "Content-type: application/xml" -u [USER:PASS] --cacert [CERT] -d "<vm><memory>1073741824</memory></vm>" https://[RHEVM-Host]:443//ovirt-engine/api/vms/082c794b-771f-452f-83c9-b2b5a19c039
The REST API updates the virtual machine with a new memory configuration.

A.4.4. DELETE Request with cURL

Example A.4. DELETE request

The following DELETE request removes a virtual machine resource.
DELETE /ovirt-engine/api/vms/082c794b-771f-452f-83c9-b2b5a19c0399 HTTP/1.1
Adapt the method (DELETE) and URI (https://[RHEVM-Host]:443/ovirt-engine/api/vms/082c794b-771f-452f-83c9-b2b5a19c0399) into the following cURL command:
$ curl -X DELETE -u [USER:PASS] --cacert [CERT] https://[RHEVM-Host]:443//ovirt-engine/api/vms/082c794b-771f-452f-83c9-b2b5a19c039
The REST API removes the virtual machine. Note the Accept: application/xml request header is optional due to the empty result of DELETE requests.

A.4.5. DELETE Request Including Body with cURL

Example A.5. DELETE request with body

The following DELETE request force removes a virtual machine resource as indicated with the optional body.
DELETE /ovirt-engine/api/vms/082c794b-771f-452f-83c9-b2b5a19c0399 HTTP/1.1
