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!
