Red Hat Virtualization
The importer for Red Hat Virtualization allows you to import your current virtualization infrastructure into Txture seamlessly.
RHV Data source
The data source establishes a connection to Red Hat Virtualization (RHEV) for extracting data.
For the connection this Data Source needs the URL (e.g. https://rhevm.customer.url/ovirt-engine/api, the "customer.url" must be replaced by the according url and the "/ovirt-engine/api" must not be removed) together with Username (can be found in the top right corner of the console - e.g. "user@internal-authz": the user required for the datasource in this case would be "user@internal") and Password.
Importable assets
As any other importer, the RHV importer allows certain assets to be imported from your RHV installation. These assets are listed in the following table and be arbitrarily mapped to your structure.
| Asset-Type | Description |
|---|---|
| VM | Virtual machines. It is possible to choose "only running", if you do, only the virtual machines which are actually running (in this API the status is called "UP") at the given moment will be imported. |
| DISK | Disks providing storage. |
| NETWORK | Networks. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization provides networking functionality between virtual machines, virtualization hosts, and wider networks. For detailled information please have a look at the documentation of Red Hat. |
| CLUSTER | Clusters are collections of physical hosts that share the same storage domains and have the same type of CPU. For detailled information please have a look at the documentation of Red Hat. |
| HOST | Hosts. Physical server on which virtual machines run. |
| DATA_CENTER | Data centers. A data center is the highest level virtual entity for all physical and logical resources within a managed virtual environment. For detailled information please have a look at the documentation of Red Hat. |
Importable links
Of course, the importer also allows to cover the connections between the above assets. Currently, the following links can be imported:
| Shortcut | Description |
|---|---|
| DISK_TO_VM | Links between disks and virtual machines will be established: which disk is attached to which virtual machine? |
| CLUSTER_TO_VM | Links between clusters and virtual machines will be established: which cluster is connected to which virtual machine? |
| HOST_TO_VM | Links between hosts and virtual machines will be established: which host is connected to which virtual machine? |
| NETWORK_TO_CLUSTER | Links between networks and clusters will be established: which network is connected to which cluster? |
| CLUSTER_TO_HOST | Links between clusters and hosts will be established: which cluster is connected to which host? |
| NETWORK_TO_HOST | Links between networks and hosts will be established: which network is connected to which host? |
| CLUSTER_TO_DATACENTER | Links between clusters and data centers will be established: which cluster is connected to which data center? |
| NETWORK_TO_DATACENTER | Links between networks and data centers will be established: which network is connected to which data center? |
