Can I execute now the following from my laptop ? so that it will connect to
the rhevm host node and download the disks ?
(base) kris@my-ThinkPad-X270:$ python3 download_disk.py -c engine-dev
MY_vm_blah_Id /var/tmp/disk1.raw //is this correct ?
My laptop doesn't have space to accommodate 300 GB so can I attache a usb
harddisk and can I specify its mount point ? or any other suggestions or
correcton ? Because its a live host. I can't do trail and error on service
maintainer's rhevm host machines.
kindly correct me if any thing wrong in my steps . I have to perform this
script running on mylaptop to rhevm host machines without breaking
anything.
Kindly guide me.
Kris

!!! ( How come this ? Does the Rhevm node need to enable any CLI with
License key or something to list Vms or to dumpxml with virsh ? or its
CLI commands ?
RHV undefine the vms when they are not running.

If the vm is not running you can get the vm configuration from ovirt
using the API:
GET /api/vms/{vm-id}
You may need more API calls to get info about the disks, follow the <links>
in the returned xml.

Arik can add more info on exporting.

You have 2 options:
- Download the disks using the SDK
- Export the VM to OVA
When exporting to OVA, you will always get qcow2 images, which you can
later
convert to raw using "qemu-img convert"
When downloading the disks, you control the image format, for example
this will download
the disk in any format, collapsing all snapshots to the raw format:
$ python3
/usr/share/doc/python3-ovirt-engine-sdk4/examples/download_disk.py
-c engine-dev 3649d84b-6f35-4314-900a-5e8024e3905c /var/tmp/disk1.raw
This requires ovirt.conf file:
$ cat ~/.config/ovirt.conf
[engine-dev]
engine_url = https://engine-dev
username = admin@internal
password = mypassword
cafile = /etc/pki/vdsm/certs/cacert.pem
