Just to say thank you again for the pointers on what was needed to be done. I was able to modify that script to do what was needed and now it works like a champ.

Thanks

Thanks for the info. My simple setup is just a base for bigger clusters that I have to do and there will be multiple templates that I need to install. I have python programming skills but just needed some simple pointing in the right direction on where to make the addition changes to the code. It takes a little bit of time to get the services and types correct for what you want to accomplish and how it is implemented.

Nudging to see if anyone has experience with this?

I have a single ovirt manager and 2 ovirt hosts, each has a local storage domain. I am using the upload_ova_as_template.py and my template upload works on a single host but not both. If I use the gui method, there is the option of "clone" and putting in a new name for the template. This seems to work most of the time, but it has failed a couple of times also. I would like to add the same "clone" and "name" option to the upload_ova_as_temple.py. What is the best way to do this since I need to have unique UUIDs for the template disks? This is a unique setup in the fact that I can't use shared storage and this should be doable as I was able to do it in the ovirt gui.

If it's just a one-time operation, I'd rather try to create a VM out of the template that was imported successfully (with disk-provisioning = clone), create a second template out of it, remove the original template and then upload the template from the OVA to the other storage domain.

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
