Hi Ramon,

I just want to send you some tips on how to do that feature.

1. You are changing the way the template is created. Now source_media is a required parameter and need to be properly added on API.json

2. source_media will replace cdrom and disk[base], so, please update API.json to reflect it.

3. Following the Template creation flow, the request will first touch on model/templates.py in create() function.

The code below needs to be moved around as at this point you will not know if source_media is an ISO or an Image file.

        ...
        iso = params.get('cdrom')
        # check search permission
        if iso and iso.startswith('/') and os.path.exists(iso):
            st_mode = os.stat(iso).st_mode
            if stat.S_ISREG(st_mode) or stat.S_ISBLK(st_mode):
                user = UserTests().probe_user()
                run_setfacl_set_attr(iso, user=user)
                ret, excp = probe_file_permission_as_user(iso, user)
                if ret is False:
                    raise InvalidParameter('KCHISO0008E',
                                           {'filename': iso, 'user': user,
                                            'err': excp})

4. The second step is vmtemplate.py.
     As you can see you will need to change the function _get_os_info() to something like:

        source_media = args.get('source_media)
        if source_media is not None:
            if source_media.startswith('http|https|ftp|...') or <use python magic to identify it is an ISO> :
                args[cdrom] = source_media
            else:
                # assume it is an image
                args[disks] = {base: source_media}

        # the code below keeps the same

Does all that make sense for you?

Aline Manera
