Parameters ¶

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
auth dictionary / required			Dictionary with values needed to create HTTP/HTTPS connection to oVirt:
	ca_file string		A PEM file containing the trusted CA certificates. The certificate presented by the server will be verified using these CA certificates. If `ca_file` parameter is not set, system wide CA certificate store is used. Default value is set by `OVIRT_CAFILE` environment variable.
	headers dictionary		Dictionary of HTTP headers to be added to each API call.

ksm_numa boolean		Choices: no yes	If True enables KSM `ksm` for best performance inside NUMA nodes.
mac_pool - added in 2.4			MAC pool to be used by this cluster. `Note:` This is supported since oVirt version 4.1.
