Hello, I'm trying to see how to create a snapshot of a VM, but only of a subset of its disks (actually it will be only the bootable one) Taking the examples at https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk/tree/master/sdk/examples I can accomodate something like this # Get the reference to the service that manages the virtual machines: vms_service = system_service.vms_service() # Find the virtual machine and put into data_vm vm = vms_service.list( search='name=%s' % MY_VM_NAME, all_content=True, )[0] logging.info( 'Found virtual machine \'%s\', the id is \'%s\'.', vm.name, vm.id, ) # Find the services that manage the data_vm virtual machine: vm_service = vms_service.vm_service(vm.id) # Send the request to create the snapshot. Note that this will return # before the snapshot is completely created, so we will later need to # wait till the snapshot is completely created. snaps_service = vm_service.snapshots_service() snap = snaps_service.add( snapshot=types.Snapshot( description=snap_description, persist_memorystate=False, ), ) This makes a snapshot of all the dsks of the vm. I can previously filter in my case the bootable disk with something like this: # Locate the service that manages the disk attachments of the virtual # machine: disk_attachments_service = vm_service.disk_attachments_service() # Retrieve the list of disks attachments, and print the disk details. disk_attachments = disk_attachments_service.list() for disk_attachment in disk_attachments: disk = connection.follow_link(disk_attachment.disk) print("name: %s" % disk.name) print("id: %s" % disk.id) print("status: %s" % disk.status) print("bootable: %s" % disk_attachment.bootable) print("provisioned_size: %s" % disk.provisioned_size) So in case of an example VM with two disks I get this print out name: padnpro_bootdisk id: c122978a-70d7-48aa-97c5-2f17d4603b1e status: ok bootable: True provisioned_size: 59055800320 name: padnpro_imp_Disk1 id: 5454b137-fb2c-46a7-b345-e6d115802582 status: ok bootable: False provisioned_size: 10737418240 But I haven't found then the syntax to use to specify a disk list in the block where I create the sapshot of the VM snap = snaps_service.add( snapshot=types.Snapshot( description=snap_description, persist_memorystate=False, disxk x x x ? ? ? ), ) Any help in this direction?
