How to Import VMs from Export-domain via API call ?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • I am using a script to clone/import an existing VM from our attached Export Domain.
#!/bin/bash

exec 3<&0
exec 0<vecs

while read LINE; do
NAME=`echo ${LINE} | awk -F, '{print $1}'`
MAC=`echo ${LINE} | awk -F, '{print $2}'`
IP=`echo ${LINE} | awk -F, '{print $3}'`
curl -X POST -H "Accept: application/xml" -H "Content-Type: application/xml" --cacert /root/rhevm.cer -v -u "user@rhevm_fqdn.com:PASSWORD" -d '<action>
  <storage_domain>
    <name>Export</name>
  </storage_domain>
  <cluster>
    <name>admin_user_name</name>
  </cluster>
  <clone>true</clone>
  <vm>
    <name>'${NAME}'</name>
  </vm>
</action>' "https://rhevm._fqdn.com/api/storagedomains/6490f123-338e-496c-bb3f-8ce40cf48d29/vms/96fadf5c-d9ae-4194-873b-437176a7f0c5/import"
done

exec 0<&3
  • The file 'vecs' (in the script) contains lines such as
VMvec01,00:1a:4a:xx:xx:xx,172.22.107.60
VMvec02,00:1a:4a:xx:xx:xx,172.22.107.61
VMvec03,00:1a:4a:xx:xx:xx,172.22.107.62
  • When I try to run this script I get:
------>8(output truncated)8<-------
<clone>true</clone>
    <status>
        <state>failed</state>
    </status>
    <fault>
        <reason>Operation Failed</reason>
        <detail>[Cannot import VM. Storage Domain type not specified.]</detail>
    </fault>
------>8(output truncated)8<-------
