Unable to rename disks via REST API

Hello everyone, I'm having some problems about renaming some disks (setting a different alias, name or description) for VMs disks created from a template. When I get this URL https://ovirt-manager/ovirt-engine/api/disks/0123 I can see are the methods sparsify, export, move and copy. I tried to POST the following XML to the previous URL with no result (as expected, it won't work) <disk> <alias>my_machine_Disk1</alias> </disk> I'm quite sure I'm thinking about it in a wrong way (as usual). Any help would be welcome... Thank you in advance -- Bruno Rodríguez Rodríguez *Port d'Informació Científica (PIC)*

Hi, Updating is done using the PUT method. Please try that with the same XML body. Thanks, Daniel On Wed, Jun 28, 2017 at 10:26 AM Bruno Rodriguez <bruno@pic.es> wrote:

Thank you, Daniel I tried a PUT with the same XML body, I got a "405 Method Not Allowed". It's quite strange, there must be someting I'm missing On Wed, Jun 28, 2017 at 10:07 AM, Daniel Erez <derez@redhat.com> wrote:

The operation to update a disk will be introduced in version 4 of the API with version 4.2 of the engine. Meanwhile the way to update the disk is to use version 3 of the API and the disks sub-collection of the virtual machine. That means that if you have a VM with id 123 and a disk with id 456 you can send a request like this: PUT /ovirt-engine/api/v3/vms/123/disks/456 With a request body like this: <disk> <alias>newalias</alias> </disk> Note that you can use the above "v3" prefix in the URL or else the "Version: 3" header. A complete example using curl: ---8<--- #!/bin/bash -ex url="https://.../ovirt-engine/api" user="admin@internal" password="..." vm_id="..." disk_id="..." curl \ --verbose \ --cacert "ca.pem" \ --header "Version: 3" \ --header "Content-Type: application/xml" \ --user "${user}:${password}" \ --request PUT \ --data " <disk> <alias>newalias</alias> </disk> " \ "${url}/vms/${vm_id}/disks/${disk_id}" --->8---

I'm sorry about bothering you again, but after trying it some times I'm still getting a "500 Internal Server Error". I'm using a REST client instead of CURL and I tried adding a "Version: 3" to headers and used the URL with the v3 as well. I'm issuing a PUT of <disk><alias>Alias_for_disk</alias></disk> To the URL https://myserver/ovirt-engine/api/v3/vms/62498f51-0203-48b9-83c8-4c6f3bdfe05... I mean, I can live without it but we are using oVirt as a "static virtualization" environment and is quite useful for us being able to recognize easily each disk by its server name. In case I have to wait until the 4.2 API version to automatize this I'll do :( On Wed, Jun 28, 2017 at 11:18 AM, Bruno Rodriguez <bruno@pic.es> wrote:

Shit, I got it. Sorry The problem is that I was accessing to the v4 disk-attachment id and I was getting everything quite messed up. I was doing all of this while creating a machine, so I was trying to rename the disk at the same time it's being created. I'll delete all the "if ($ovirt_major == 3)" I have in my code. If I have any problem I'll let you know. Thank you On Wed, Jun 28, 2017 at 1:03 PM, Juan Hernández <jhernand@redhat.com> wrote:

Shit, I got it. Sorry
The problem is that I was accessing to the v4 disk-attachment id and I was getting everything quite messed up. I was doing all of this while creating a machine, so I was trying to rename the disk at the same time it's being created.
I'll delete all the "if ($ovirt_major == 3)" I have in my code. If I have any problem I'll let you know.
Thank you
If what you want to do is set the name of the disk for a VM that you are creating then you can just set it when adding the disk: POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms/123/diskattachments <disk_attachment> <disk> <name>yourfavoritename</name> ... </disk> ... </disk_attachment> That way you don't need to modify it later. Also, in general, try to wait till the objects are completely created before trying to use or update them. For disks in particular, it is good idea to repeatedly retrieve the disk till the 'status' is 'OK': https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk/blob/master/sdk/examples/add_vm_di... (This is an example from the Python SDK, but you get the idea. There are SDKs for Ruby and Java as well.) Finally, if you get a 500 error then there is most probably a bug. The API should never return that, even if you try to do something that doesn't make sense it should respond with a reasonable error message. If you keep getting that 500 error please share the details.

That should work. Can you please check if you get any useful message in /var/log/ovirt-engine/server.log or /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log?

"Si algo me ha enseñado el tetris, es que los errores se acumulan y los triunfos desaparecen"

Finally I was able to rename the disks, the problem was about handling that put request and my inability to check libcurl documentation (I was treating the XML I was sending as a string instead of a file). Sorry because I needed this script to be working as fast as I could, so I didn't try to reproduce the 500 error, but I wouldn't be suprised if it was because of a totally wrong URL. Sorry again :( On Wed, Jun 28, 2017 at 1:56 PM, Juan Hernández <jhernand@redhat.com> wrote:
