Greetings,
I was wondering if someone could point me in the proper direction in
the code where VMs are created within the oVirt Engine. Any help that
I can get would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
if you mean creating the VM at configuration level: AddVm.
it has a few variants:
1. from template - will create the VM and clone/cow the disks 2. from scratch/blank
template - will create the VM, and you will need to later add/attach the disks manually.
3. from an existing snapshot (will collapse layers iirc)
(you can also import a VM)
to run the VM: RunVm
relevant code classes in engine under this path:
./backend/manager/modules/bll/src/main/java/org/ovirt/engine/core
/bll/AddVmFromTemplateCommand.java
/bll/AddVmFromSnapshotCommand.java
/bll/AddVmTemplateInterfaceCommand.java
/bll/AddVmFromScratchCommand.java
for creating and attaching a disk to a VM bll/AddDiskToVmCommand.java
