Hi All,
As many of you know, we're working on adding a plugin to oVirt for NetApp s=
torage 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 dom=
ain 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 re=
gister 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 pro=
cess 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.

http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Features/Domain_Scan
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/8219/1
I had thought that as well, although the domain scanning functionality that was submitted
was just querying for new disks and not actually registering them. I'm admittedly
still a bit new to this and wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.
I'll be working on the functionality to get the newly found disks actually registered
with oVirt over the next week and get it submitted to gerrit as soon as possible.

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

Yes, Itamar. George and I were very confused for a while, but as I looked at the patch
pointed to above it appears there is a separate REST API for VDSM. So, just to be clear is
there any separate XML RPC API for the Engine or REST is all there is and no plans to
change in the future?

Engine communicates with VDSM today via XML-RPC.
there was work to move VDSM to a newer API, based on REST.
this was abandoned, and focus is moving to JSON messages based API instead.
(you'd be using this api when your engine side patch will be calling the
VDSM method for domain scan, but the xml-rpc part of it is probably
abstracted in the engine from you).
in any case, this is *all* engine-vdsm side, and unrelated to the Engine
REST API, which there are no plans to deprecate.
