Hi <br>
<br>
I am trying to backup and restore the VM using the flow suggester
at <a
href="http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Backup-Restore_API_Integration#VM_Backup.2FRestore_suggested_flows">Features/Backup-Restore
API Integration</a><br>
<br>
When I tried to restore the VM using the following steps,<br>
<br>
<br>
<u><b>Full Virtual Machine Restoration</b></u><br>
<ol>
<li>Create disks for restore</li>
<li>Attach the disks for restore to the virtual appliance (Restore
the data to it)</li>
<li>Detach the disks from the virtual appliance.</li>
<li>Create a vm using the configuration that was saved as part of
the backup flow - (added capabillity to oVirt as part of the
Backup API)</li>
<li>Attach the restored disks to the created vm.</li>
</ol>
I encountered following error at step 4.<br>
<br>
<blockquote><font color="#cc0000"><fault><br>
<reason>Operation Failed</reason><br>
<detail>[Import VM failed - <u><b>VM Id already exist
in the system</b></u>. Please remove the VM
(RHEL_65_CL1_CLONE2) from the system first]</detail><br>
</fault></font><br>
</blockquote>
<br>
I have not deleted/removed the backed up VM from the system.<br>
<br>
Is it expected behaviour? <br>
Should it not overwrite the existing VM or Create new VM with
different VM Id, if the backup up VM exists?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks, Santosh
