There is no specific field for specifying a vnic profile. We can make a use of the 'OtherResourceType' which isn't in use by the engine for storing the vnic profile name. An alternative would be using the Connection field to store both Network:Profile, and parsing it when a vm or template are being imported. I'm in favour of the first option for simplicity and in order not to modify the Connection field as is being used today.

The images should be updated since the vnic profiles will be a main-tab, appears only when a network is selected, instead of a sub-tab of the networks. > > Thanks, > Itamar > > [1] http://dmtf.org/standards/ovf _______________________________________________ Engine-devel mailing list Engine-devel(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/engine-devel
