Feature pages are design documents that developers have created while collaborating on oVirt.

Most of them are outdated, but provide historical design context.

They are not user documentation and should not be treated as such.

Copy Disks

Summary

Until oVirt 3.5 it was possible to copy only the disks attached to a template and only to a different storage domain. This RFE is about letting to copy also the VM and floating disks to the same or different storage domain.

Owner

Current status

  • Target Release: 3.6
  • Status: Done

Proposal

  • Enable to copy the VM and floating disks
  • Enable to change the alias of the copied disk
  • Enable to copy the disk also to the same storage domain

REST API

Send a POST request to the url: /api/disks/<disk id>/copy

<action>
    <storage_domain id="14e6e9f3-9fe9-493b-b9ba-793cb441f9ad" />
    <disk>
        <alias>newDiskAlias</alias>
    </disk>
</action>

If the <disk><alias> is omitted, the same alias as the original disk will be used.
