How to change timeout for operations with VMs?

A timeout is set for operations with virtual machines (VMs) in the platform. After this time, VMmanager stops the task. Default timeout values:

  • for operations of creating, reinstalling and restoring VMs from a backup — 3600 sec (1 hour);
  • to execute a script on a VM or cluster node — 10800 sec (3 hours).

To change the timeout value:

  1. Get an authorization token:

    curl -k -X POST -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" 'https://domain.com/auth/v4/public/token' -d '{"email": "admin_email", "password": "admin_pass"}'
    Comments to the command

    In response, you will get the message in the form:

    {
      "confirmed": true,
      "expires_at": null,
      "id": "6",
      "token": "4-e9726dd9-61d9-2940-add3-914851d2cb8a"
    }

    Save the received token value.

  2. Execute the request:

    curl -H "x-xsrf-token: <token>" "https://domain.com/vm/v3/settings/task/host_create/timeout" -d '{"timeout_seconds": <seconds>}'
    Change the timeout for VM reinstallation
    curl -H "x-xsrf-token: <token>" "https://domain.com/vm/v3/settings/task/host_reinstall/timeout" -d '{"timeout_seconds": <seconds>}'
    Change the timeout to restore VM from backup
    curl -H "x-xsrf-token: <token>" "https://domain.com/vm/v3/settings/task/disk_restore/timeout" -d '{"timeout_seconds": <seconds>}'
    Changing the timeout for executing a script on a VM

    Changing the timeout for script execution on the cluster node
    curl -H "x-xsrf-token: <token>" "https://domain.com/vm/v3/settings/task/node_run_script/timeout" -d '{"timeout_seconds": <seconds>}'
    Changing the timeout for creating VM backup
