Hi list,
I want to schedule a VM backup in ovirt 3.5. I read below URL.
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Backup-Restore_API_Integration#Full_VM_Backups
It gives an below example of VM backup
Example for VM Backup
Use existing VM Snapshot/Create a vm snapshot (example):
URL = SERVER:PORT/api/vms/VM_ID/snapshots
/api is deprecated [1]. Please use /ovirt-engine/api in all URLs. IIUC it should still work, though. The page above links also to a complete example (check "External references" near the end). Did you check it? You might also want to play with the examples in [2]. [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961677 [2] http://www.ovirt.org/Python-sdk
Method = POST (with Content-Type:application/xml header) Body = <snapshot> <description>Virtual Machine 1 - Snapshot For Backup</description> </snapshot>
But, How can I find the VM_ID of the VM that I want to backup?
How can I write this below format?
URL = SERVER:PORT/api/vms/VM_ID/snapshots
MY Ovirt Engine manager is running on another PC. (let's say engine.example.com ) i can access it by typing https://engine.example.com/
is it https://engine.example.com/api/vms/VM_ID/snapshots ? I can't access it in firefox browser?
You should be able to. Can you access /ovirt-engine/api ?
Should I write a script? is there any Youtube video or doc that makes me to understand this?
Not sure. Adding Juan, the SDK maintainer. Best regards,
Hope to hear from you.
