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