#add(template, opts = {}) ⇒ Template

Creates a new template.

This requires the name and vm elements. To identify the virtual machine use the vm.id or vm.name attributes. For example, to create a template from a virtual machine with the identifier 123 send a request like this:

POST /ovirt-engine/api/templates

With a request body like this:

<template>
  <name>mytemplate</name>
  <vm id="123"/>
</template>

The disks of the template can be customized, making some of their characteristics different from the disks of the original virtual machine. To do so use the vm.disk_attachments attribute, specifying the identifier of the disk of the original virtual machine and the characteristics that you want to change. For example, if the original virtual machine has a disk with the identifier 456, and, for that disk, you want to change the name to mydisk the format to Copy On Write and make it sparse, send a request body like this:

<template>
  <name>mytemplate</name>
  <vm id="123">
    <disk_attachments>
      <disk_attachment>
        <disk id="456">
          <name>mydisk</name>
          <format>cow</format>
          <sparse>true</sparse>
        </disk>
      </disk_attachment>
    </disk_attachments>
  </vm>
</template>

The template can be created as a sub-version of an existing template. This requires the name and vm attributes for the new template, and the base_template and version_name attributes for the new template version. The base_template and version_name attributes must be specified within a version section enclosed in the template section. Identify the virtual machine with the id or name attributes.

<template>
  <name>mytemplate</name>
  <vm id="123"/>
  <version>
    <base_template id="456"/>
    <version_name>mytemplate_001</version_name>
  </version>
</template>

The destination storage domain of the template can be customized, in one of two ways:

  1. Globally, at the request level. The request must list the desired disk attachments to be created on the storage domain. If the disk attachments are not listed, the global storage domain parameter will be ignored.

    <template>
      <name>mytemplate</name>
      <storage_domain id="123"/>
      <vm id="456">
        <disk_attachments>
          <disk_attachment>
            <disk id="789">
              <format>cow</format>
              <sparse>true</sparse>
            </disk>
          </disk_attachment>
        </disk_attachments>
      </vm>
    </template>
  2. Per each disk attachment. Specify the desired storage domain for each disk attachment. Specifying the global storage definition will override the storage domain per disk attachment specification.

    <template>
      <name>mytemplate</name>
      <vm id="123">
        <disk_attachments>
          <disk_attachment>
            <disk id="456">
              <format>cow</format>
              <sparse>true</sparse>
              <storage_domains>
                 <storage_domain id="789"/>
              </storage_domains>
            </disk>
          </disk_attachment>
        </disk_attachments>
      </vm>
    </template>

Parameters:

  • template (Template)

    The information about the template or template version.

  • opts (Hash) (defaults to: {})

    Additional options.

Options Hash (opts):

  • :clone_permissions (Boolean)

    Specifies if the permissions of the virtual machine should be copied to the template.

    If this optional parameter is provided, and its value is true, then the permissions of the virtual machine (only the direct ones, not the inherited ones) will be copied to the created template. For example, to create a template from the myvm virtual machine copying its permissions, send a request like this:

    POST /ovirt-engine/api/templates?clone_permissions=true

    With a request body like this:

    <template>
      <name>mytemplate<name>
      <vm>
        <name>myvm<name>
      </vm>
    </template>
  • :seal (Boolean)

    Seals the template.

    If this optional parameter is provided and its value is true, then the template is sealed after creation.

    Sealing erases all host-specific configuration from the filesystem: SSH keys, UDEV rules, MAC addresses, system ID, hostname, and so on, thus making it easier to use the template to create multiple virtual machines without manual intervention.

    Currently, sealing is supported only for Linux operating systems.

  • :headers (Hash) — default: {}

    Additional HTTP headers.

  • :query (Hash) — default: {}

    Additional URL query parameters.

  • :timeout (Integer) — default: nil

    The timeout for this request, in seconds. If no value is explicitly given then the timeout set globally for the connection will be used.

  • :wait (Boolean) — default: true

    If true wait for the response.

Returns:
