[ovirt-users] Restoring backed up VM

[Elad Ben Aharon]

If you still have the backed up VM in your system, the create from configuration operation should be blocked as you've encountered.
Allon, what does the create VM from configuration checks? The existence of the VM name or the existence of its ID?

Subject: [ovirt-users] Restoring backed up VM

Hi 

I am trying to backup and restore the VM using the flow suggester at Features/Backup-Restore API Integration 

When I tried to restore the VM using the following steps, 


Full Virtual Machine Restoration 


    1. Create disks for restore 
    2. Attach the disks for restore to the virtual appliance (Restore the data to it) 
    3. Detach the disks from the virtual appliance. 
    4. Create a vm using the configuration that was saved as part of the backup flow - (added capabillity to oVirt as part of the Backup API) 
    5. Attach the restored disks to the created vm. 

I encountered following error at step 4. 



<fault> 
<reason>Operation Failed</reason> 
<detail>[Import VM failed - VM Id already exist in the system . Please remove the VM (RHEL_65_CL1_CLONE2) from the system first]</detail> 
</fault> 

I have not deleted/removed the backed up VM from the system. 

Is it expected behaviour? 
Should it not overwrite the existing VM or Create new VM with different VM Id, if the backup up VM exists? 


Thanks, Santosh
