Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks!
What other information are you looking for to get from the storage? In your case iiuc what you want to do is clone an existing *VM*, is that correct? i.e. clone disks on storage side and the VM configuration (virtual hardware, networks, etc) in oVirt? If so, perhaps it's worth it to take a look at how clone vm from snapshot works today. You could do something similar but instead of cloning the disks, just assigning the already cloned disks to the new VM and verify that the disks are indeed accessible. > > > > -Chris > > > > Chris Morrissey > > Software Engineer > > NetApp Inc. > > 919.476.4428 > > > _______________________________________________ > vdsm-devel mailing list > vdsm-devel@lists.fedorahosted.org > https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/vdsm-devel > _______________________________________________ vdsm-devel mailing list vdsm-devel@lists.fedorahosted.org https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/vdsm-devel
