Hi wodel, With ovirt 4.5.2 you can use the new ovirt-img command: $ ovirt-img download-disk \ --engine-url https://engine.com \ --username admin@internal \ --cafile /path/to/cert.pem \ {disk-id} download.qcow2 This downloads the disk with ID "disk-id" into download.qcow2 in the current local directory. There are options to control the destination image format (e.g. --format raw). See `ovirt-img download-disk --help`. You can also add configuration for your setup (you can have many): $ cat ~/.config/ovirt-img.conf [engine1] engine_url = https://engine.com username = admin@internal password = password cafile = /path/to/cert.pem And then just select the section name in the configuration that you want to use: $ ovirt-img download-disk --config engine1 {disk-id} image.qcow2 [ 100% ] 6.00 GiB, 16.85 s, 364.64 MiB/s | download completed The command is already installed with all the dependencies on hosts and engine, and available via the ovirt-imageio-client package on any host (if you have the right repos). ovirt-img should be much faster than curl since it understands image sparseness so it does not transfer gigabytes of zeroes over the wire.
