Hello ,

I want to write a script to attach a '.iso' image to a vm

so ,can you please help me or tell me some api so that i can continue my work !!!

I have some '.iso ' file in my storage .

script rhevm_test.py

from ovirtsdk.api import API

from ovirtsdk.xml import params

import time

rhevm_uri = "https://rhevm301.xxx.xx.com:8443/api"

rhevm_username = "admin@rhevm301.xxx.xx.com"

rhevm_password = "iso*help"

api = API(url=rhevm_uri, username=rhevm_username, password=rhevm_password)

print "Connected to RHEVM Successful"

MB = 1024*1024

GB = 1024*MB

VM_NAME = 'test_vm'

DESCRIP = 'testing vm'

CLUSTER_NAME = 'Default'

STORAGE_NAME = 'rhevmVMdata'

domain_name= 'rhevmiso'

domain_type = 'ISO'

try:

api.vms.add(params.VM(name=VM_NAME,description=DESCRIP, memory=2*GB,cluster=api.clusters.get(CLUSTER_NAME), template=api.templates.get('Blank')))

print 'VM created'

api.vms.get(VM_NAME).nics.add(params.NIC(name='nic1', network=params.Network(name='rhevm'), interface='Red Hat VirtIO'))

print 'NIC added to VM'

api.vms.get(VM_NAME).disks.add(params.Disk(storage_domains=params.StorageDomains(storage_domain=[api.storagedomains.get(STORAGE_NAME)]),size=512*MB,status=None,interface='VirtIO',format='Preallocated',sparse=True,bootable=True))

print 'Disk added to VM'

print 'Waiting for VM to reach Down status'

while api.vms.get(VM_NAME).status.state != 'down':

time.sleep(1)

except Exception as e:

print 'Failed to create VM with disk and NIC\n%s' % str(e)

time.sleep(10)

try :

api.vms.get(VM_NAME).cdroms.add(params.CdRom(name='CD-ROM' , file=params.File(name='CentOS-6.2-x86_64-LiveDVD.iso')))

except Exception as e:

print 'Failed to attach disk :\n%s' % str(e)

try:

if api.vms.get(VM_NAME).status.state != 'up':

print 'Starting VM'

api.vms.get(VM_NAME).start()

print 'Waiting for VM to reach Up status'

while api.vms.get(VM_NAME).status.state != 'up':

time.sleep(1)

else:

print 'VM already up'

except Exception as e:

print 'Failed to Start VM:\n%s' % str(e)

and got some following output :

Connected to RHEVM Successful

VM created

NIC added to VM

Disk added to VM

Waiting for VM to reach Down status

Failed to attach disk :

status: 400

reason: Bad Request

detail: CdRom [file.id] required for add

Starting VM

Failed to Start VM:

status: 400

reason: Bad Request

detail: Cannot run VM without at least one bootable disk.

if i remove this line in red color the code will works fine and it will create a vm with blank template w/o any '.iso' attached !!

With Regards,

Romil
