[Engine-devel] Registering an existing disk or VM through the REST API

[Saggi Mizrahi]

Please don't use the REST API it's being deprecated
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/7754/

We are in a transition to a stable supported API.
Until then please use the XML-RPC API which thought not supported is the more stable of the two.
