Hi Team,

1) I perform the VM clone using the following API

api/vms/{vmId}/clone

2) The above API is returning the job id
3) Using the job Id, we continuously query the oVirt to get the
status
of the clone operation.
/api/jobs/${vmCloneJobId}
      We are able to successfully get the status of the clone
operation.

But the problem is, we are not able to identify the newly created
VM
(created using clone).

AFAIK, The only way to get the newly created VM is to get all the
VM
list from oVirt. Is there an easy way to identify the newly created
VM
using the jobId?

In order to run the clone operation you must pas the VM name, so you
know the name, so later to fetch the VM you can just run:

api/vms?search=name=thenameofclonnedvm

Hijacking this a little, because I got curious about something:)

Is it possible to do regex searches? Because I remember working on
something different, the searches could potentially end up with
multiple matched objects, like "thenameofclonnedvm",
"thenameofclonnedvm-berta", "thenameofclonnedvm3" and so on. So I was
always forced to treat the result as a potential array, loop the
objects (this was with Python) and test for an exact match, even if it
was just one object. So it would be nicer if you could go like:

api/vms?search=name='^thenameofclonnedvm$'

And be sure to have an exact match every time. Is that possible?

You can read more about search engine here:


https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/admin-guide/appe-Using_Search_Bookmarks_and_Tags/

So if you have for example following VMs in system:

 vm
 vm1
 vm2
 vm3

And you do search like:

  api/vms?search=name=vm

It will return only single Vm called 'vm', but it always return a collection, but with just single item.

And you do search like:

 api/vms?search=name=vm*

It will return all VMs starting on 'vm' string. So it's collection of vm, vm1, vm2 and vm3.

So by default it search for exact string, but you may use wildcards to
improve the search.


TIA

Is this approach OK for you?


Thanks,
Hari
