Can you run the example with debug model enabled and share the debug output? Also, are you completely sure you actual compiled and run that versoin of the code? I ask because it uses "True" instead of "true", which should fail to compile. I see that you are using version 3.6 of the Java SDK. That version of the SDK and the version of the API it uses (version 3) are deprecated since version 4 of the engine. Please consider using version 4 of the SDK instead. With version 4 of the SDK you can do that as follows: ---8<--- package org.ovirt.engine.sdk4.examples; import static org.ovirt.engine.sdk4.ConnectionBuilder.connection; import static org.ovirt.engine.sdk4.builders.Builders.storageDomain; import org.ovirt.engine.sdk4.Connection; import org.ovirt.engine.sdk4.services.SystemService; import org.ovirt.engine.sdk4.services.VmService; import org.ovirt.engine.sdk4.services.VmsService; import org.ovirt.engine.sdk4.types.Vm; // This example shows how to export a virtual machine. public class ExportVm { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { // Create the connection to the server: Connection connection = connection() .url("https://engine40.local/ovirt-engine/api") .user("admin@internal") .password("redhat123") //.trustStoreFile("truststore.jks") .insecure(true) .build(); // Get the reference to the root of the services tree: SystemService systemService = connection.systemService(); // Find the virtual machine: VmsService vmsService = systemService.vmsService(); Vm vm = vmsService.list() .search("name=myvm") .send() .vms() .get(0); // Export the virtual machine: VmService vmService = vmsService.vmService(vm.id()); vmService.export() .exclusive(true) .discardSnapshots(true) .storageDomain( storageDomain() .name("myexport") ) .send(); // Close the connection to the server: connection.close(); } } --->8--- The documentation of version 4 of the SDK is available here: https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk-java/tree/master/sdk https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk-java/tree/master/sdk/src/test/j... http://www.javadoc.io/doc/org.ovirt.engine.api/sdk/4.1.3
