--_000_DB5PR09MB0422E945B518A88DA81C075999C00DB5PR09MB0422eurp_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1257" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello, It seems ovirt API lacks of possibility to define storage domain, in which = cloned vm (from snapshot) will be created, is it done on purpose, or it is = just missing/under development ? Scenario using WEB GUI : Create snapshot of any running VM, right-click on snapshot, select =93clone= =94 In pop-up window you can enter new VM name etc, under =93resource allocatio= n=94 section *you can select where it will be created* Scenario using python-sdk/ovirt-api I was trying to create vm for example like this: ## vm_params =3D params.VM(name=3Dvm_from_list + '__bak', cluster=3Dapi.cluste= rs.get("Default"), storage_domain=3Dapi.storagedomains.get("temp"), memory= =3Dvm.get_memory(), snapshots=3Dsnapshots_param) api.vms.add(vm_params) ## # temp is =84other=93 storage domain, NFS v3 VM will be still created on same storage as original VM, no matter what dom= ain I will define in params... Also tried other variations, using templates, disk profiles and so on, but = nothing has changed where new VM is created. I know cloning is not intended for backup purpose, but it is workaround pro= bably half of Ovirt users use. In my case, it is not very smart to do snapshot and create VM (allocate dis= k space, etc) on same storage domain where there is already running a lot o= f VMs, environment is already busy.
