<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As many of you know, we’re working on adding a plugin to oVirt for NetApp storage controllers. The plugin will allow users to add a new storage domain and rapidly clone VMs using the native ONTAP APIs. Our plan is to do this outside of
oVirt in a separate engine and then register the new storage domain or cloned VMs through the REST API.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve been going through the oVirt code and I’m not able to find a way to register an existing VM or disk through the REST API. Am I missing something or is this functionality that needs to be added? As part of the cloning process we can
generate new UUIDs for the cloned disks and images, but I don’t see a way to get them recognized by oVirt.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This functionality is very important to moving forward on our plugin and I can certainly help add this capability if needed.<o:p></o:p></p>
