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 <aha...@redhat.com> wrote: > >> >> >> On Thu, May 27, 2021 at 4:24 PM Don Dupuis <donds...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> Arik >>> Just to say thank you again for the pointers on what was needed to be >>> done.
