[Ovirt] List VMs with its IP addresses, NIC details..etc using python/ovirt-sdk [Part 4]

by

It’s a common use that we want to know the VM Ips and other NIC card details in an ovirt setup. Most of the time if you got to know the VM IPs it’s pretty easy to manage those VMS or pulling some data out of it.
Here is an example program that can be used to list the nic details, IP address ..etc of ovirt VMs.

Please note that you need a guest agent package installed in the VM to correctly fetch VMs IP addresses.
Below program version may be not properly intended, so download the program from github ..

# This program can be used to list vm nics details and the ips in an ovirt Dc ,

# Please make sure you are changing below parameters in api :

#url =”Your ovirt engine api url” #username =”user to access the api” #password =”password of above user” #ca_file =”location of ca cert file”

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

try: api = API(url=”https://myrhevm.humblec.com/api”, username=”admin@internal”, password=”redhat”, ca_file=”/root/ca.crt”) try: vmsList = api.vms.list(max=500) for instance in vmsList: print ‘\t \t\t\tVM :%s’ % (instance.name.upper()) address=[] if instance.status.state == ‘up’ and instance.get_guest_info(): vmnics= instance.get_nics().list() ips = instance.get_guest_info().get_ips().get_ip() for card in vmnics: print ‘Net.ID:%s \t Name:%s \t MacAddress:%s \t Interface:%s \t Plugged:%s \t Linked:%s ‘ % (card.network.id, card.name, card.mac.address, card.interface, card.plugged, card.linked) for ip in ips: address.append(ip.get_address()) print ‘\t IP : %s’ % ( ip.get_address()) except Exception as e: print ” Exception:\n%s’ % str(e)

api.disconnect()

except Exception as ex: print “Unexpected error: %s” % ex

The Sample output would like this:

  1. How can we list Vms details like virtual cpu core and virtual cpu memory to each vm in above script

    • Hi Deepesh,
      It should be easy,

      vmsList = api.vms.list(max=500)
      for instance in vmsList:
      In “instance” you have the VM, just list the properties of this ‘instance’ wrt vcpu and v memory , you should be able to make it.

      For ex:
      instance.get_guest_info():

      Please let me know if you need help.
