Trying to get going adding VM's via the API and so far have managed to get quite far
- I am however facing this
vm_template = """<vm>
<name>%s</name>
<cluster>
<name>Default</name>
</cluster>
<template>
<name>Blank</name>
</template>
<vm_type>server</vm_type>
<memory>536870912</memory>
<os>
<boot dev="hd"/>
</os>
</vm>"""
The VM is created but the type ends up being a desktop and not a server -
What did i do wrong?
the name of the element is <type> (not <vm_type>).
thanks

Many thanks - got it
Can i also ask is it possible to set an iso to boot from, the boot order and also the
console type and if so what are those elements called?
1. you can find elements names in api schema (download it from [1] on your rhevm server).
2. vm creation details/examples can be found at [2].
[1] http://server:[port]/api?schema
[2]

cdroms is a sub-collection of vm, you have to:
1. create vm
2. insert cd in to cdrom (this is done via updating cdrom)
3. run vm specifying CD as first boot device
i'd also suggest you looking in to the sdk (python/java),
you may find it easier than working with api directly over http.

based on my previous posts i dont suppose you have a working example do you as i am having
great difficulty making it work how i would imagine. I can create the VM fine, set the
boot order and have the console all correct, its just 'attaching' the iso that is
the issue.

if i were starting from scratch you may well be correct, its just this is a small piece of
some larger orchestration and its all a bit too embedded as is to start to rework it at
this time.
thanks

Tom,
You'll want to the PUT method to attach an ISO to the cdrom drive. Here is
a link to the relevant RHEV API documentation:
