We have found ourselves in the same situation. We build a VM with packer (qemu-kvm) and upload it to oVirt using virt-v2v. Then we need to attach the disk using an ansible task in our playbook before converting it to a template. I have noticed however that the Ubuntu cloud image https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/focal/release/ubuntu-20.04-server-c... can be uploaded by virt-v2v and the disk is attaced automatically. So there must be some information inside the img file that makes it work. If I have time someday I will try to look at that.

Hi,

Trying to create a VM while attaching an existing disk. I can create the VM then attach the disk with an additional call, but I thought it should be possible to do it in one hit?

My code is

vm = vms_service.add( types.Vm( name='alma8.7', description='AlmaLinux 8.7 CIS Packer image', cluster=types.Cluster( name='Default', ), type=types.VmType('server'), template=types.Template( name='Blank', ), disk_attachments=[types.DiskAttachment( disk=types.Disk(id = "0532e728-a1fb-4ff8-a4f3-0702fc876fce"), bootable=True, active=True, interface=types.DiskInterface.VIRTIO, )] ), )

This request returns no error but the disk isn't actually attached to the created VM.
