Hi list,
I want to schedule a VM backup in ovirt 3.5. I read below URL.
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Backup-Restore_API_Integration#Full_VM_Backups
It gives an below example of VM backup
Example for VM Backup
* Use existing VM Snapshot/Create a vm snapshot (example): URL = SERVER:PORT/api/vms/VM_ID/snapshots Method = POST (with Content-Type:application/xml header) Body = <snapshot> <description>Virtual Machine 1 - Snapshot For Backup</description> </snapshot>
But, How can I find the VM_ID of the VM that I want to backup?
look at: https://engine.example.com/ovirt-engine/api/vms it lists all the vms and shows both the VM name and it's ID
How can I write this below format? URL = SERVER:PORT/api/vms/VM_ID/snapshots
MY Ovirt Engine manager is running on another PC. (let's say engine.example.com ) i can access it by typing https://engine.example.com/
is it https://engine.example.com/api/vms/ VM_ID /snapshots ? I can't access it in firefox browser?
the correct address should be https://engine.example.com/ovirt-engine/api/vms/ VM_ID /snapshots
Should I write a script? is there any Youtube video or doc that makes me to understand this?
it depends a lot on language you want to use. If you want to use for example python you could try this guide to python sdk http://www.ovirt.org/Python-sdk
Hope to hear from you.
