3.5. Adding Resources
The following examples outline two ways to add resources to the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager. In these examples, the resource to be added is a virtual machine.
Example 1
In this example, an instance of the VM class is declared to represent the new virtual machine to be added. Next, the attributes of that virtual machine set to the preferred values. Finally, the new virtual machine is added to the Manager.
org.ovirt.engine.sdk.entities.VM vmParams = new org.ovirt.engine.sdk.entities.VM();
vmParams.setName("myVm");
vmParams.setCluster(api.getClusters().get("myCluster"));
vmParams.setTemplate(api.getTemplates().get("myTemplate"));
...VM vm = api.getVMs().add(vmParams);
Example 2
In this example, an instance of the VM class is declared in the same way as Example 1. However, rather than using the get method to reference existing objects in the Manager, each attribute is referenced by declaring an instance of that attribute. Finally, the new virtual machine is added to the Manager.
org.ovirt.engine.sdk.entities.VM vmParams = new org.ovirt.engine.sdk.entities.VM();
vmParams.setName("myVm");
org.ovirt.engine.sdk.entities.Cluster clusterParam = new Cluster();
clusterParam.setName("myCluster");
vmParams.setCluster(clusterParam);
org.ovirt.engine.sdk.entities.Template templateParam = new Template();
templateParam.setName("myTemplate");
vmParams.setTemplate(templateParam);
...VM vm = api.getVMs().add(vmParams);
Where did the comment section go?
Red Hat's documentation publication system recently went through an upgrade to enable speedier, more mobile-friendly content.
