I don't know if you've added an argument to the script that determines whether or not the entity is imported as a clone, but it can also be handy to import as a clone automatically when a VM/template with the same ID already exists. That's something we used to do when importing from export domains and we miss it for uploading from OVA. > > Don > > On Thu, May 27, 2021 at 9:35 AM Arik Hadas wrote: > >> >> >> On Thu, May 27, 2021 at 4:24 PM Don Dupuis wrote: >> >>> Arik >>> Just to say thank you again for the pointers on what was needed to be >>> done.

It is the same script, I just renamed it. Now what I did works but it isn't the proper way to do it. I want to improve it before contributing it as I write the ovf data back out to a file and use pythons sed like functionality to modify the file and then read in the updated one to give to the engine. I just wanted to get something to work to get my project done.

Changing the script to obtain import as clone is also possible but it requires some programming skills - you'd need to either generate or provide the script with different name for the template and UUIDs for the disks and then (1) use the new UUIDs when uploading the disks and (2) change the OVF that is loaded from the OVA to have the new name and UUIDs before providing the OVF to the engine. > >> Thanks >> Don >> > ___ > Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org > To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org > Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html > oVirt Code of Conduct: > https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ > List Archives: > https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/U6Q5P7YKDBJARPPNFJOXAMP2AMKEJDNK/ > ___ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/BZMJRKEQOH4UECDGUFPMDHGV45POGJEO/
