3.7. Example: Approve Host
The
hypervisor host resource contains an approve action. A user accesses this action's URI with a POST request.
Example 3.7. Approve a pre-configured Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor host
Request:
POST /api/hosts/0656f432-923a-11e0-ad20-5254004ac988/approve HTTP/1.1 Accept: application/xml Content-type: application/xml <action/>
cURL command:
# curl -X POST -H "Accept: application/xml" -H "Content-Type: application/xml" \
-u [USER:PASS] --cacert [CERT] \
-d "<action/>" \
https://[RHEVM Host]:443/api/hosts/0656f432-923a-11e0-ad20-5254004ac988/approve
The POST request requires a body for the message entities to initiate an action. Since the action does not require additional parameters, the body contains an empty
action element.
Use the
approve action only for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor hosts. Red Hat Enterprise Linux hosts require a different process to connect to the virtualization environment.
This approves and activates the host for use in your virtual environment. The
status for hypervisor changes from non_operational to up.
