[ovirt-users] Creating disks works for XML (sort of) but not JSON
https://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/4.5/#services/disks
POST /ovirt-engine/api/disks
mydisk
1048576
cow
First off as a field is ridiculous because there is
no JSON equivalent I can determine.
Next
Why is this a good XML structure?
MyStorageDomainName
But this is not
7aaa2d33-c7ba-46f0-b4fd-4cf48a724e8d
Next when trying to create a new disk directly on a VM
POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms/396bc7c9-ed4a-4209-b9fd-f93e9a47cd31/diskattachments
Name works for XML:
true
virtio
true
Boot Disk
cow
mybootdisk
1048576
MyStorageDomainName
But Not for JSON
{
"bootable": "true",
"interface": "virtio",
"active": "true",
"disk": {
"description": "Boot Disk",
"format": "cow",
"name": "mybootdisk",
"provisioned_size": "1048576",
"storage_domains": {
"storage_domain": {
"name":
"MyStorageDomainName"
}
}
}
}
And ID fails for both
I think the REST API for creating disks needs some real help. They are
deprecating the only one that actually works right
/ovirt-engine/api/storagedomains/123/disks
Does anyone have the correct syntax in JSON, because the available
documentation is almost entirely devoid of any, AND the server response.
wait for it.. "The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request."
.that is all

[ovirt-users] Re: [External] : Create Vm without Storage Domain
Hi Shafi, A Storage Domain in oVirt is like a Storage Pool in a stand-alone KVM host. To create a virtual disk on a stand-alone KVM host, a storage pool must exist where you create the virtual disk. The same for oVirt, to upload or to create a virtual disk, a Storage Domain must exist. After uploading the disk to the Storage Domain, you can attach it to a VM.

[ovirt-users] Re: Create Vm without Storage Domain
Hi Guys , Thanks for the Info . I am trying to migrate my data from local to Storage domain . But it requires twice the effort in terms of space and time to copy the data to the local file system and then upload the disk to it . I created a storage domain and tried to expose it to the NBD server to write the data from the source Vm disk . But I'm facing an nbd permission issue . Even a copy or write is restricted .
