Chapter 2. Python Quick Start Example
2.1. Python Quick Start Introduction
This chapter provides a series of examples demonstrating the steps to create a virtual machine within a basic Red Hat Virtualization environment, using the Python SDK.
Important
The examples in this chapter are designed to work with V3 of the Python SDK.
These examples use the ovirtsdk Python library provided by the ovirt-engine-sdk-python package. This package is available to systems subscribed to a
Red Hat Virtualization entitlement pool in Red Hat Subscription Manager. See Section 1.2, “Installing the Python Software Development Kit” for more information on subscribing your system(s) to download the software.
You will also need:
- A networked installation of Red Hat Virtualization Manager.
- A networked and configured Red Hat Virtualization Host.
- An ISO image file containing an operating system for installation on a virtual machine.
- A working understanding of both the logical and physical objects that make up a Red Hat Virtualization environment.
- A working understanding of the Python programming language.
Important
All Python examples include placeholders for authentication details (USER for user name, and PASS for password). Ensure all requests performed with Python fulfill the authentication requirements of your environment.
Note
Red Hat Virtualization Manager generates a globally unique identifier (GUID) for the
id attribute for each resource. Identifier codes in these examples might appear different to the identifier codes in your Red Hat Virtualization environment.
Note
These Python examples contain only basic exception and error handling logic. For more information on the exception handling specific to the SDK, refer to the pydoc for the
ovirtsdk.infrastructure.errors module.
$ pydoc ovirtsdk.infrastructure.errors
