salt.states.virt module¶

Manage virt¶

For the key certificate this state uses the external pillar in the master to call for the generation and signing of certificates for systems running libvirt:

libvirt_keys:
  virt.keys

salt.states.virt.keys(name, basepath='/etc/pki', **kwargs)¶

Manage libvirt keys.

name: The name variable used to track the execution
basepath: Defaults to /etc/pki, this is the root location used for libvirt keys on the hypervisor

country
The country that the certificate should use. Defaults to US.

New in version 2018.3.0.

state
The state that the certificate should use. Defaults to Utah.

salt.states.virt.pool_deleted(name, purge=False, connection=None, username=None, password=None)¶

Deletes a virtual storage pool.

Parameters

name -- the name of the pool to delete.
purge -- if True, the volumes contained in the pool will be deleted as well as the pool itself. Note that these will be lost for ever. If False the pool will simply be undefined. (Default: False)
connection -- libvirt connection URI, overriding defaults
username -- username to connect with, overriding defaults
password -- password to connect with, overriding defaults

In order to be purged a storage pool needs to be running to get the list of volumes to delete.

Some libvirt storage drivers may not implement deleting, those actions are implemented on a best effort idea. In any case check the result's comment property to see if any of the action was unsupported.

New in version 3000.
