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. ----- Original Message -----

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.
