This Ruby example starts a virtual machine specifying the boot devices and boot order.
# Find the root of the tree of services:
system_service = connection.system_service
# Find the virtual machine:
vms_service = system_service.vms_service
vm = vms_service.list(search: 'name=myvm').first
# Find the service that manages the virtual machine:
vm_service = vms_service.vm_service(vm.id)
# Start the virtual machine explicitly indicating the boot devices and order:
vm_service.start(
vm: {
os: {
boot: {
devices: [
OvirtSDK4::BootDevice::NETWORK,
OvirtSDK4::BootDevice::CDROM
]
}
}
}
)
# Wait until the virtual machine is up:
loop do
sleep(5)
vm = vm_service.get
break if vm.status == OvirtSDK4::VmStatus::UP
end
