Please don't use the REST API it's being deprecated http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/7754/
We are in a transition to a stable supported API. Until then please use the XML-RPC API which thought not supported is the more stable of the two.
Saggie is talking about the vdsm rest api. Chris, I'm pretty sure you are planning to add it to the Engine REST API, to allow consuming this verb via an engine UI plugin?

Hi All,
As many of you know, we’re working on adding a plugin to oVirt for NetApp storage controllers. 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.
