Hello virt folks,
Background:
I'm using the REST API to import a VM from an attached export domain. The
VM was imported using the virt-v2v tool. I've tried this with cURL and with
the python SDK, both yield the same error message.
RHEVM Version: 3.5.6.0-1
Python SDK Version: 3.5.6.0-1
According to the documentation, importing should follow this syntax:
POST /ovirt-engine
/api/storagedomains/{storagedomain:id}/vms/{vm:id}/import
With a small <action> body attached. In theory (by the documentation and
bug tracker [1]) either of these XML documents (both in the same paste)
should work:
http://fpaste.org/309944/52627148/
However, this fails with the following error message (full response in [2])
Cannot import VM. Storage Domain type not specified.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Import a VM into an export storage domain
2. Create an XML document with an action like this (filling in the correct
values for the ID variables)
<action>
<cluster id="<CLUSTER_ID>"/>
<storage_domain id="<STORAGE_DOMAIN_ID>">
<type>export</type>
</storage_domain>
<clone>True</clone>
<vm>
<name>IMPORTED_VM</name>
</vm>
</action>
3. POST to the import location (again, substitute the correct ID variables
in the location)
/ovirt-engine/api/storagedomains/<STORAGE_DOMAIN_ID>/vms/<VM_ID>/import
Where is this storage domain type supposed to be defined, if not inside of
the storage_domain element as demonstrated in the documentation?
I would appreciate any advice you can offer or pointers to useful
resources/documentation.
Thanks!
