What do you think of making the backing up into a loop and fetching VMs from a list? My thinking is that you usually have more than one VM you´d want to back up, so something like this maybe: def getVMsFromList(VMS_LIST): try: print 'Getting list of VMs from file \"%s\".' % (VMS_LIST) fo = open(VMS_LIST) output = [] for line in fo: strippedline = line.strip('\r\n') output.append(strippedline) fo.close() return output except Exception as e: print 'Exception in getting list of VMs:\n%s' % str(e) exit(1) And then you can loop: for LIST_VM_NAME in getVMsFromList('VMs.list'): .... Or to have the list of VMs in the config and then: config = Config(config_file, debug) VMS_LIST = vms_list for LIST_VM_NAME in getVMsFromList(VMS_LIST): .... /K > > https://github.com/wefixit-AT/oVirtBackup > > cheers > gregor > > On 2015-09-16 15:11, Amador Pahim wrote: >> On 09/15/2015 11:57 AM, gregor wrote: >>> Hi, >>> >>> I write currently a little backup tool in Python which use the following >>> workflow: >>> - create a snapshot -> works >>> - clone snapshot into VM -> help needed >> >> snapshot = >> params.Snapshot(id=api.vms.get('my_vm01').snapshots.list(description='my_vm_snap_01')[0].id) >> >> >> snapshots = params.Snapshots(snapshot=[snapshot]) >> >> api.vms.add(params.VM(name='new_vm', memory=2524971008, >> cluster=api.clusters.get("Default"), snapshots=snapshots)) >> >>> - delete the snapshot -> works >>> - export VM to NFS share -> works >>> - delete cloned VM -> TODO >>> >>> Is it possible to clone a snapshot into a VM like from the web-interface? >>> >>> The above workflow is a little bit resource expensive but it will when >>> it is finished make Online-Full-backups of VM's. >>> >>> cheers >>> gregor >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Users mailing list >>> Users(a)ovirt.org >>> http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users >> > _______________________________________________ > Users mailing list > Users(a)ovirt.org > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
