Nice table for Oracle OLVM: VMs, hosts, clusters and vcpu pinning 2


On my client infrastructure, for improved performance, we need to make sure each VM is pinning to different physical cores.

We do the changes for the moment using the web interface. However, to read easily what the current status is, I’ve wrote a python script that draws a nice table showing where each VM is running and to which cores its vcpu are pinned.

The result is something like this:

And here is the code, feel free to use:

#!/usr/bin/env python

# Miguel Anjo, 18.01.2024
# Creates table of all VMs running in OLVM, and pinned vCPUs

import sys
import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.ERROR, filename='list_vms.log')

# Create the connection to the server:
connection = sdk.Connection(
    url='https://mydomain.com/ovirt-engine/api',

    password='******',

    debug=False,
    log=logging.getLogger(),

for dc in dcs:
    #print(dc.name)
    cls_service = connection.system_service().clusters_service()
    cls = cls_service.list(search='Datacenter='+dc.name)

    for cl in cls:
      print('\n\n---',dc.name,cl.name.split('-',2)[2],'-'.ljust(135,'-'))
      host_service = connection.system_service().hosts_service()
      hosts = host_service.list(search='cluster='+cl.name)

              # only prepared for 2 sockets and not crossing over socket
              if init_pin >= num_cpu_cores:
