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

[Costea, George]

Where can we browse the XML-RPC API?  We would like to verify it has what we need.

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.
