Hi All,
I have created a bash script that uses curl and the REST API based on the
docs that I could find.
I have the script working all the way up until the VM-ToBeBackedUp-Disk is
attached to the VM-RunningTheBackupScript with the mention of the Snapshot.
Example:
<disk_attachment>
<disk id=3D"33b533f8-13b1-4cc1-8091-31b07913b32a">
<snapshot id=3D"34709147-4b0c-4684-b3d9-f4892873f36f=B2/>
</disk>
<bootable>false</bootable>
<interface>virtio</interface>
</disk_attachment>

s
kattachments/
The above results in an attached disk to my VM-RunningTheBackupScript.
The question I have is how to I image that disk from the
VM-RunningTheBackupScript?
The VM-RunningTheBackupScript is running Debian8 and that VM cannot see the
attached disk as it is Inactive.
I have reviewed many of the older scripts out there and it looks trivial,
however everything I have tried has no joy ;/
If anyone on the list knows of the required magic, please advise ;)
* If I have to go to using python etc, I will, but trying to avoid it if
possible. Either way, I need some examples of how to proceed.
