requests

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
api_host string / required	Specify the target host of the Proxmox VE cluster. Uses the `PROXMOX_HOST` environment variable if not specified.
api_password string	Specify the password to authenticate with. Uses the `PROXMOX_PASSWORD` environment variable if not specified.
api_port integer	Specify the target port of the Proxmox VE cluster. Uses the `PROXMOX_PORT` environment variable if not specified.
api_token_id string	Specify the token ID. Uses the `PROXMOX_TOKEN_ID` environment variable if not specified.
api_token_secret string	Specify the token secret. Uses the `PROXMOX_TOKEN_SECRET` environment variable if not specified.
api_user string / required	Specify the user to authenticate with. Uses the `PROXMOX_USER` environment variable if not specified.
comment string	Description
name string / required	group name
nodes list / elements=string	List of cluster node members, where a priority can be given to each node. A resource bound to a group will run on the available nodes with the highest priority. If there are more nodes in the highest priority class, the services will get distributed to those nodes. The priorities have a relative meaning only. The higher the number, the higher the priority. It can either be a string `node_name:priority,node_name:priority` or an actual list of strings.
nofailback boolean	The CRM tries to run services on the node with the highest priority. If a node with higher priority comes online, the CRM migrates the service to that node. Setting `nofailback=true` prevents that behavior. Choices: `false` ← (default) `true`
restricted boolean	Resources bound to restricted groups may only run on nodes defined by the group. The resource will be placed in the stopped state if no group node member is online. Resources on unrestricted groups may run on any cluster node if all group members are offline, but they will migrate back as soon as a group member comes online. One can implement a ‘preferred node’ behavior using an unrestricted group with only one member. Choices: `false` ← (default) `true`
state string / required	Whether the HA groups should be there (created if missing) or not (deleted if they exist). Choices: `"present"` `"absent"`
validate_certs boolean	If `false`, SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only be used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. Uses the `PROXMOX_VALIDATE_CERTS` environment variable if not specified. Choices: `false` ← (default) `true`

Attributes

Attribute	Support	Description
action_group	Action group: community.proxmox.proxmox	Use `group/community.proxmox.proxmox` in `module_defaults` to set defaults for this module.
check_mode	Support: none	Can run in `check_mode` and return changed status prediction without modifying target.
diff_mode	Support: none	Will return details on what has changed (or possibly needs changing in `check_mode`), when in diff mode.
