Changing the script to obtain import as clone is also possible but it requires some programming skills - you'd need to either generate or provide the script with different name for the template and UUIDs for the disks and then (1) use the new UUIDs when uploading the disks and (2) change the OVF that is loaded from the OVA to have the new name and UUIDs before providing the OVF to the engine. > >> Thanks >> Don >> > _______________________________________________ > Users mailing list -- users(a)ovirt.org > To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)ovirt.org > Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html > oVirt Code of Conduct: > https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ > List Archives: > https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/U6Q5P7YKDBJ... >
