Hi, VM rebuild means...Rebuild the VM with the same existing configuration...just erase the Vdisk and install again (like Fresh install). We want to rebuild the VM with the same existing OS template...also it will be good if user can select other OS template also for the rebuild purpose... With CD_ISO it require the manual installation...we don't want the manual installation...we looking for a way to rebuild the VM with OS templates.... Is there any API method to achieve this ??
Regarding the statitics report, is there any API method to fetch the monthly and weekly usages report ?, we are planning to create a usage chart by using these values. -- Regards Shanil On Fri, Aug 22, 2014 at 9:46 AM, OvirtAndKvm <ov...@goproject.info> wrote: > Do you mean like; attach a new OS install ISO CD to the VM, change the > VM's boot order to CD first, reboot the VM and boot up on the CD and > install the new OS, selecting to reformat over the old installed OS ? > > or am I miss understanding your question ? > > > > At Friday, 22-08-2014 on 13:58 Shanil S wrote: > > Hi Juan, > > Thanks for your replies.. > > Regarding the rebuild VM, Is that any method to reinstall the os on the VM > without remove it or create a new one? > > > -- > Regards > Shanil > > > On Thu, Aug 21, 2014 at 4:55 PM, Juan Hernandez <jhern...@redhat.com> > wrote: > >> On 08/20/2014 12:42 PM, Shanil S wrote: >> > Hi, >> > >> > >> > I would like to create the following functions using the ovirt api >> > >> > 1.
