parameter | required | default | choices | comments | |||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
cpc_name |
yes |
The name of the CPC with the partition containing the virtual function.
|
|||||||||||||||||
faked_session |
no | Real HMC will be used. |
A
zhmcclient_mock.FakedSession object that has a mocked HMC set up. If provided, it will be used instead of connecting to a real HMC. This is used for testing purposes only. |
||||||||||||||||
hmc_auth |
yes |
The authentication credentials for the HMC.
| |||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||
hmc_host |
yes |
The hostname or IP address of the HMC.
|
|||||||||||||||||
log_file |
no |
File path of a log file to which the logic flow of this module as well as interactions with the HMC are logged. If null, logging will be propagated to the Python root logger.
|
|||||||||||||||||
name |
yes |
The name of the target virtual function that is managed. If the virtual function needs to be created, this value becomes its name.
|
|||||||||||||||||
partition_name |
yes |
The name of the partition containing the virtual function.
|
|||||||||||||||||
properties |
no | No input properties |
Dictionary with input properties for the virtual function, for
state=present . Key is the property name with underscores instead of hyphens, and value is the property value in YAML syntax. Integer properties may also be provided as decimal strings. Will be ignored for state=absent .The possible input properties in this dictionary are the properties defined as writeable in the data model for Virtual Function resources (where the property names contain underscores instead of hyphens), with the following exceptions:
*
name : Cannot be specified because the name has already been specified in the name module parameter.*
adapter_uri : Cannot be specified because this information is specified using the artificial property adapter_name .*
adapter_name : The name of the adapter that backs the target virtual function.Properties omitted in this dictionary will remain unchanged when the virtual function already exists, and will get the default value defined in the data model for virtual functions when the virtual function is being created.
|
||||||||||||||||
state |
yes |
|
The desired state for the target virtual function:
absent : Ensures that the virtual function does not exist in the specified partition.present : Ensures that the virtual function exists in the specified partition and has the specified properties. |

virtual_function |
For
state=absent , an empty dictionary.For
state=present , a dictionary with the resource properties of the virtual function (after changes, if any). The dictionary keys are the exact property names as described in the data model for the resource, i.e. they contain hyphens (-), not underscores (_). The dictionary values are the property values using the Python representations described in the documentation of the zhmcclient Python package. |
