Meanwhile the way to update the disk is to use version 3 of the API and the disks sub-collection of the virtual machine. That means that if you have a VM with id 123 and a disk with id 456 you can send a request like this: PUT /ovirt-engine/api/v3/vms/123/disks/456 With a request body like this: <disk> <alias>newalias</alias> </disk> Note that you can use the above "v3" prefix in the URL or else the "Version: 3" header. A complete example using curl: ---8<--- #!/bin/bash -ex url="https://.../ovirt-engine/api" user="admin@internal" password="..." vm_id="..." disk_id="..." curl \ --verbose \ --cacert "ca.pem" \ --header "Version: 3" \ --header "Content-Type: application/xml" \ --user "${user}:${password}" \ --request PUT \ --data " <disk> <alias>newalias</alias> </disk> " \ "${url}/vms/${vm_id}/disks/${disk_id}" --->8--- > > On Wed, Jun 28, 2017 at 10:07 AM, Daniel Erez <derez(a)redhat.com > <mailto:derez@redhat.com>> wrote: > > Hi, > > Updating is done using the PUT method. > Please try that with the same XML body. > > Thanks, > Daniel > > On Wed, Jun 28, 2017 at 10:26 AM Bruno Rodriguez <bruno(a)pic.es > <mailto:bruno@pic.es>> wrote: > > Hello everyone, > > I'm having some problems about renaming some disks (setting a > different alias, name or description) for VMs disks created from > a template.
