Public Instance Methods
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:
- source
POST /ovirt-engine/api/templates
With a request body like this:
- source,xml
<template>
<name>mytemplate</name> <vm id="123"/>
</template>
Since version 4.3, in order to create virtual machine template from a snapshot send a request body like this:
- source,xml
<template>
<name>mytemplate</name> <vm id="123"> <snapshots> <snapshot id="456"/> </snapshots> </vm>
</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 xref:types-disk_format[_Copy On Write_] and make it xref:types-disk, send a request body like this:
- source,xml
<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.
- source,xml
<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:
-
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. +
- source,xml
<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>
-
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. +
- source,xml
<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>
@param template [Template] The information about the template or template version.
@param opts [Hash] Additional options.
@option opts [Boolean] :clone_permissions 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: [source] ---- POST /ovirt-engine/api/templates?clone_permissions=true ---- With a request body like this: [source,xml] ---- <template> <name>mytemplate<name> <vm> <name>myvm<name> </vm> </template> ----
@option opts [Boolean] :seal 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.
@option opts [Hash] :headers ({}) Additional HTTP headers.
@option opts [Hash] :query ({}) Additional URL query parameters.
@option opts [Integer] :timeout (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.
@option opts [Boolean] :wait (true) If `true` wait for the response.
@return [Template]
