Hi Team, 1) I perform the VM clone using the following API api/vms/{vmId}/clone 2) The above API is returning the job id 3) Using the job Id, we continuously query the oVirt to get the status of the clone operation. /api/jobs/${vmCloneJobId}     We are able to successfully get the status of the clone operation. But the problem is, we are not able to identify the newly created VM (created using clone). AFAIK, The only way to get the newly created VM is to get all the VM list from oVirt. Is there an easy way to identify the newly created VM using the jobId?

Because I remember working on something different, the searches could potentially end up with multiple matched objects, like "thenameofclonnedvm", "thenameofclonnedvm-berta", "thenameofclonnedvm3" and so on. So I was always forced to treat the result as a potential array, loop the objects (this was with Python) and test for an exact match, even if it was just one object. So it would be nicer if you could go like: api/vms?search=name='^thenameofclonnedvm$' And be sure to have an exact match every time. Is that possible?
