[ovirt-users] AutoStart VMs (was Re: Re: oVirt 4.4.0 Release is now generally available)
Hi,
(Sorry if you get this twice -- looks like it didn't like the python
script in there so I'm resending without the code)

Hi Derek,
today I played around with Ansible to accomplish, I think, what you currently
do in oVirt shell.
It was the occasion to learn, as always, something new: as "blocks" in Ansible
dont' support looping, a workaround to get that.
Furthermore I have a single host environment where it can turn usefull too...

I found the time to work on this using the Python SDK. Took me longer
than I wanted but I think I've got something working now. I just
haven't done a FULL test, yet, but a runtime time on the online system
works (I commented out the start call).
I still have two files, a vm_list.py which is a config file that
contains the list of VMs, in order, and then the main program itself
(start_vms.py) which is based on several of the examples available in
github.
Unfortunately I can't seem to send the script in email because it's
getting blocked by the redhat server -- so I have no idea the best way
to share it.
