python-hypervisor-api

Here you can find some Python scripts and includes to interract with VMWare vCenter or ESX hosts and oVirt virtualization hosts.

##Prerequisites ###to use the scripts for VMWare vCenter or ESX

• install python-pip: (sudo yum -y install python-pip or similar for your distro)
• pip install pysphere (sudo pip install pysphere)

more information on my blog: Create a new virtual machine in Vsphere with Python, Pysphere and the VMWare API

###to use the scripts for oVirt

• make sure you have access to the EPEL repositories (for CentOS or RHEL)
• install ovirt-engine-sdk-python: (sudo yum -y install ovirt-engine-sdk-python or similar for your distro)

more information on my blog: [Create a new virtual machine in oVirt with Python using the API] (http://jensd.be/?p=491)

##How to use:

• edit the defaults in deploy_vm.py
• create a textfile similar to example_ovirt.txt or example_vmware.txt
• execute deploy_vm.py <name of the vm-definitions file>

Multiple VM-definitions can be givin in one file. ovIrt and ESX can be combined. The deploy_vm is rather quick/dirty, feel free to improve it :)
