Re: [Engine-devel] Registering an existing disk or VM through the REST API

The plugin will allow users to add a new storage domain and rapidly clone VMs using the native ONTAP APIs. Our plan is to do this outside of oVirt in a separate engine and then register the new storage domain or cloned VMs through the REST API. I’ve been going through the oVirt code and I’m not able to find a way to register an existing VM or disk through the REST API. Am I missing something or is this functionality that needs to be added? As part of the cloning process we can generate new UUIDs for the cloned disks and images, but I don’t see a way to get them recognized by oVirt. This functionality is very important to moving forward on our plugin and I can certainly help add this capability if needed. -Chris Chris Morrissey Software Engineer NetApp Inc. 919.476.4428 _______________________________________________ Engine-devel mailing list Engine-devel(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/engine-devel
