Re: [ovirt-users] Ovirt python API clone VM to other data domain
Thank you, this was the solution,
Modified version of original script available here: http://pastebin.com/GEtSJMCN
Original : https://github.com/wefixit-AT/oVirtBackup
Diff: moded version is doing backup for all running VMS in cluster, trying to
clone VM into different storage domain (avoiding load on main domain)
Please remove "iterration" if statement, I was using it to stop script from
doing backup for all VMs (testing)

[ovirt-users] Ovirt python API clone VM to other data domain
Hello,
It seems ovirt API lacks of possibility to define storage domain, in which
cloned vm (from snapshot) will be created, is it done on purpose, or it is just
missing/under development ?
Scenario using WEB GUI :
Create snapshot of any running VM, right-click on snapshot, select “clone”
In pop-up window you can enter new VM name etc, under “resource allocation”
section *you can select where it will be created*
Scenario using python-sdk/ovirt-api
I was trying to create vm for example like this:
##
vm_params = params.VM(name=vm_from_list + '__bak',
cluster=api.clusters.get("Default"),
storage_domain=api.storagedomains.get("temp"), memory=vm.get_memory(),
snapshots=snapshots_param)
api.vms.add(vm_params)
##
# temp is „other“ storage domain, NFS v3
VM will be still created on same storage as original VM, no matter what domain
I will define in params...
Also tried other variations, using templates, disk profiles and so on, but
nothing has changed where new VM is created.
I know cloning is not intended for backup purpose, but it is workaround
probably half of Ovirt users use.
In my case, it is not very smart to do snapshot and create VM (allocate disk
space, etc) on same storage domain where there is already running a lot of VMs,
environment is already busy.
Thanks !
