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

Content-type: application/xml
<host>
<name>host2</name>
<address>host2.example.com</address>

root_password element is only included in the client-provided initial representation and is not exposed in the representations returned from subsequent requests.
