7.28.1. custom_scheduling_policy_properties

Custom scheduling policy properties of the cluster. These optional properties override the properties of the scheduling policy specified by the scheduling_policy link, and apply only for this specific cluster.

For example, to update the custom properties of the cluster, send a request:

PUT /ovirt-engine/api/clusters/123

With a request body:

<cluster>
  <custom_scheduling_policy_properties>
    <property>
      <name>HighUtilization</name>
      <value>70</value>
    </property>
  </custom_scheduling_policy_properties>
</cluster>

Update operations using the custom_scheduling_policy_properties attribute will not update the the properties of the scheduling policy specified by the scheduling_policy link, they will only be reflected on this specific cluster.

7.28.2. fencing_policy

Custom fencing policy can be defined for a cluster.

Here is an example:

PUT /ovirt-engine/api/cluster/123

With request body:

<cluster>
  <fencing_policy>
    <enabled>true</enabled>
    <skip_if_sd_active>
      <enabled>false</enabled>
    </skip_if_sd_active>
    <skip_if_connectivity_broken>
      <enabled>false</enabled>
      <threshold>50</threshold>
    </skip_if_connectivity_broken>
  </fencing_policy>
</cluster>

7.28.3. gluster_tuned_profile

The name of the tuned profile to set on all the hosts in the cluster. This is not mandatory and relevant only for clusters with gluster service.

7.28.4. required_rng_sources

Set of random number generator (RNG) sources required from each host in the cluster.

When read, it returns the implicit urandom (for cluster version 4.1 and higher) or random (for cluster version 4.0 and lower) plus additional selected RNG sources. When written, the implicit urandom and random RNG sources cannot be removed.

Important

Before version 4.1 of the engine, the set of required random number generators was completely controllable by the administrator; any source could be added or removed, including the random source. But starting with version 4.1, the urandom and random sources will always be part of the set, and can’t be removed.

Important

Engine version 4.1 introduces a new RNG source urandom that replaces random RNG source in clusters with compatibility version 4.1 or higher.

7.28.5. version

The compatibility version of the cluster.

All hosts in this cluster must support at least this compatibility version.

For example:

GET /ovirt-engine/api/clusters/123

Will respond:

<cluster>
  ...
  <version>
    <major>4</major>
    <minor>0</minor>
  </version>
  ...
</cluster>

To update the compatibility version, use:

PUT /ovirt-engine/api/clusters/123

With a request body:

<cluster>
  <version>
    <major>4</major>
    <minor>1</minor>
  </version>
</cluster>

In order to update the cluster compatibility version, all hosts in the cluster must support the new compatibility version.

Boolean

 

wipe_after_delete

Boolean

Indicates if the disk’s blocks will be read back as zeros after it is deleted:

- On block storage, the disk will be zeroed and only then deleted.

7.45.1. active

Indicates if the disk is visible to the virtual machine.

Important

When adding a disk attachment to a virtual machine, the server accepts requests that don’t contain this attribute, but the effect is then undefined. In some cases the disk will be automatically activated and in other cases it won’t. To avoid issues it is strongly recommended to always include the this attribute with the desired value.

7.45.2. actual_size

The actual size of the disk, in bytes.

The actual size is the number of bytes actually used by the disk, and it will be smaller than the provisioned size for disks that use the cow format.

7.45.3. bootable

Indicates if the disk is marked as bootable.

Important

This attribute only makes sense for disks that are actually connected to virtual machines, and in version 4 of the API it has been moved to the DiskAttachment type. It is preserved here only for backwards compatibility, and it will be removed in the future.

7.45.4. initial_size

The initial size of a sparse image disk created on block storage, in bytes.

The initial size is the number of bytes a sparse disk is initially allocated with when created on block storage. The initial size will be smaller than the provisioned size. If not specified the default initial size used by the system will be allocated.

7.45.5. interface

The type of interface driver used to connect the disk device to the virtual machine.

Important

This attribute only makes sense for disks that are actually connected to virtual machines, and in version 4 of the API it has been moved to the DiskAttachment type. It is preserved here only for backwards compatibility, and it will be removed in the future.

7.45.6. provisioned_size

The virtual size of the disk, in bytes.

This attribute is mandatory when creating a new disk.

7.45.7. qcow_version

The underlying QCOW version of a QCOW volume. The QCOW version specifies to the qemu which qemu version the volume supports. This field can be updated using the update API and will be reported only for QCOW volumes, it is determined by the storage domain’s version which the disk is created on. Storage domains with version lower than V4 support QCOW2 volumes, while V4 storage domains also support QCOW2v3. For more information about features of the different QCOW versions, see here.

7.45.8. shareable

Indicates if the disk can be attached to multiple virtual machines.

Important

When a disk is attached to multiple virtual machines it is the responsibility of the guest operating systems of those virtual machines to coordinate access to it, to avoid corruption of the data, for example using a shared file system like GlusterFS or GFS.

7.45.9. wipe_after_delete

Indicates if the disk’s blocks will be read back as zeros after it is deleted:

  • On block storage, the disk will be zeroed and only then deleted.
  • On file storage, since the file system already guarantees that previously removed blocks are read back as zeros, the disk will be deleted immediately.

7.46. DiskAttachment struct

Describes how a disk is attached to a virtual machine.

Table 7.60. Attributes summary

NameTypeSummary

active

Boolean

Defines whether the disk is active in the virtual machine it’s attached to.

bootable

Boolean

Defines whether the disk is bootable.

comment

String

Free text containing comments about this object.

description

String

A human-readable description in plain text.

id

String

A unique identifier.

interface

DiskInterface

The type of interface driver used to connect the disk device to the virtual machine.

logical_name

String

The logical name of the virtual machine’s disk, as seen from inside the virtual machine.

name

String

A human-readable name in plain text.

pass_discard

Boolean

Defines whether the virtual machine passes discard commands to the storage.

read_only

Boolean

Indicates whether the disk is connected to the virtual machine as read only.

uses_scsi_reservation

Boolean

Defines whether SCSI reservation is enabled for this disk.

7.46.1. active

Defines whether the disk is active in the virtual machine it’s attached to.

A disk attached to a virtual machine in an active status is connected to the virtual machine at run time and can be used.

7.46.2. logical_name

The logical name of the virtual machine’s disk, as seen from inside the virtual machine.

The logical name of a disk is reported only when the guest agent is installed and running inside the virtual machine.

For example, if the guest operating system is Linux and the disk is connected via a VirtIO interface, the logical name will be reported as /dev/vda:

<disk_attachment>
  ...
  <logical_name>/dev/vda</logical_name>
</disk_attachment>

If the guest operating system is Windows, the logical name will be reported as \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0.

7.46.3. read_only

Indicates whether the disk is connected to the virtual machine as read only.

When adding a new disk attachment the default value is false.

<disk_attachment>
  ...
  <read_only>true</read_only>
</disk_attachment>

7.46.4. uses_scsi_reservation

Defines whether SCSI reservation is enabled for this disk.

Virtual machines with VIRTIO-SCSI passthrough enabled can set persistent SCSI reservations on disks. If they set persistent SCSI reservations, those virtual machines cannot be migrated to a different host because they would lose access to the disk, because SCSI reservations are specific to SCSI initiators, and therefore hosts. This scenario cannot be automatically detected. To avoid migrating these virtual machines, the user can set this attribute to true, to indicate the virtual machine is using SCSI reservations.
