Hi Romil, In general you can use api guide [1] for this, anyway here is example: 1. create vm ============ ... 2. insert cdrom =============== vm = api.vms.get(name="myvm") cdrom = vm.cdroms.get(id="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000") isofile = params.File(id="myiso.iso") cdrom.set_file(isofile) cdrom.update() 3. change boot order (to boot from cdrom and then from hd) ========================================================== os=params.OperatingSystem(boot=[params.Boot(dev='cdrom'), params.Boot(dev='hd')], ...) api.vms.add(params.VM(name='myvm2', os=os, cluster=api.clusters.get('mycluster'), template=api.templates.get('mytemplate'))) 4. run vm ========= ...

Hello ,

*I want to write a script to attach a '.iso' image to a vm * so ,can you please help me or tell me some api so that i can continue my work !!! I have some '.iso ' file in my storage .

script *rhevm_test.py*

from ovirtsdk.api import API from ovirtsdk.xml import params import time

rhevm_uri = "https://rhevm301.xxx.xx.com:8443/api" rhevm_username = "admin@rhevm301.xxx.xx.com <mailto:admin@rhevm301.xxx.xx.com>" rhevm_password = "iso*help"

api = API(url=rhevm_uri, username=rhevm_username, password=rhevm_password) print "Connected to RHEVM Successful"

MB = 1024*1024 GB = 1024*MB VM_NAME = 'test_vm' DESCRIP = 'testing vm' CLUSTER_NAME = 'Default' STORAGE_NAME = 'rhevmVMdata'

domain_name= 'rhevmiso' domain_type = 'ISO'

try: api.vms.add(params.VM(name=VM_NAME,description=DESCRIP, memory=2*GB,cluster=api.clusters.get(CLUSTER_NAME), template=api.templates.get('Blank') , cdroms = 'CentOS-6.2-x86_64-LiveCD.iso '))

print 'VM created'

api.vms.get(VM_NAME).nics.add(params.NIC(name='nic1', network=params.Network(name='rhevm'), interface='Red Hat VirtIO')) print 'NIC added to VM'

api.vms.get(VM_NAME).disks.add(params.Disk(storage_domains=params.StorageDomains(storage_domain=[api.storagedomains.get(STORAGE_NAME)]),size=512*MB,status=None,interface='VirtIO',format='Preallocated',sparse=True,bootable=True))

print 'Disk added to VM' print 'Waiting for VM to reach Down status' while api.vms.get(VM_NAME).status.state != 'down': time.sleep(1) except Exception as e: print 'Failed to create VM with disk and NIC\n%s' % str(e)

time.sleep(10)

try: if api.vms.get(VM_NAME).status.state != 'up': print 'Starting VM' api.vms.get(VM_NAME).start() print 'Waiting for VM to reach Up status' while api.vms.get(VM_NAME).status.state != 'up': time.sleep(1) else: print 'VM already up' except Exception as e: print 'Failed to Start VM:\n%s' % str(e)

and got some exceptions

Connected to RHEVM Successful Failed to create VM with disk and NIC 'str' object has no attribute 'export' Failed to Start VM: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'status'

if i remove this cdroms = 'CentOS-6.2-x86_64-LiveCD.iso ' the code will works fine and it will create a vm with blank template w/o any '.iso' attached !!
