Problem:
I’m trying to provision a VM via the API (using stackstorm, a general purpose automation platform). Compute Resource is a XenServer Pool (more accurate: XCP-ng 7.5).
The host is created in Foreman, but the actual VM is not created on the compute resource.
Creating VMs via the webUI works just fine.
What am I doing wrong?
Expected outcome:
VM is actually created on XenServer.
Foreman and Proxy versions:
foreman 1.18.0-1
foreman-cli 1.18.0-1
foreman-debug 1.18.0-1
foreman-installer 1.18.0-1
foreman-postgresql 1.18.0-1
foreman-proxy 1.18.0-1
Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:
ruby-foreman-deface 1.2.0-1
ruby-foreman-dhcp-browser 0.0.8-1
ruby-foreman-discovery 12.0.2-1
ruby-foreman-tasks 0.13.2-1
ruby-foreman-tasks-core 0.2.5-1
ruby-foreman-templates 6.0.3-1
ruby-foreman-xen 0.6.1-1
ruby-hammer-cli-foreman 0.13.0-1
Other relevant data:
You can see the JSON payload send by stackstorm in the foreman logfile. But I guess what I am missing are the lines with “create_vm()”.
