Juan - any other insights?

When adding a disk to a VM both a single domain storage and a list of
storage domains are accepted. The JSON representation is the following:
"storage_domain": {
"id": "6fbee79d-5b71-48c1-b86c-ee9755a46013"
}
Note that "name" isn't accepted here, you have to use the "id".
The JSON representation for multiple domains is the following (note that
only the first one is used):
"storage_domains": {
"storage_domain": [ {
"name": "am_data"
} ]
}
Note that "id" isn't accepted here, you have to use "name".

Subject: [ovirt-users] Attaching storage to VM via JSON REST
Hi all,
I'm exploring using ovirt's REST APIs to manage VM creation/deletion/etc. I can
create the VM, attach an ISO and change boot order, but I'm unable to attach a storage
disk to the VM. I send a POST request to /api/vms/<vm uuid>/disks with the
structure:
{"storage_domain":
{"name":"am_data",
"id":"6fbee79d-5b71-48c1-b86c-ee9755a46013"
},
"size":"4294967296",
"type":"system",
"interface":"ide",
"format":"raw",
"sparse":"false",
"bootable":"true",
"wipe_after_delete":"false"
}
The response I receive is
{
"reason" : "Operation Failed",
"detail" : "[Cannot add Virtual Machine Disk. Storage Domain doesn't
exist.]"
}
For the storage domain, I've tried just the name, just the id, and both with the same
results. When I attach storage from the GUI, the disk is created/attached fine, and a GET
request for the disks of the VM shows the storage domain as the same as I was attempting
to use before.
"storage_domains" : {
"storage_domain" : [ {
"id" : "6fbee79d-5b71-48c1-b86c-ee9755a46013"
} ]
},
Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks,
Andrew
The problem with the JSON document that you are sending is that you are
using strings to represent numeric and boolean values. That generates an
exception inside the engine. Try the following:
{
"storage_domain": {
"id": "6fbee79d-5b71-48c1-b86c-ee9755a46013"
},
"size": 4294967296,
"type": "system",
"interface": "ide",
"format": "raw",
"sparse": false,
"bootable": true,
"wipe_after_delete": false
}
Note that "size" is an integer, no quotes allowed. Same for "sparse",
"bootable" and "wipe_after_delete", they are booleans, no quotes
allowed.
The long exception message that you get when sending an incorrect JSON
document is a bug in the error reporting path, it will be fixed in
version 3.4.1:
