Hi Arik, Can you please take a look and see if RHV 4.4 documentation is correct or anything needs to be adjusted. Thank you! (In reply to Juan Orti from comment #0) > In RHV Manager you can browse the apidoc reference: > > https://rhvm.example.com/ovirt-engine/apidoc/#/requests > > To export VMs or templates to OVA, in the apidoc site there's the reference > to the 'topathonhost' method, but in the official documentation that method > is not listed. Instead the official documentation lists the 'export' method, > so both references appear to not be synced. This part seems to be fixed already, I don't see methods like 'topathonhost' in <engine-url>/ovirt-engine/apidoc/#/requests with the latest version of the engine anymore > https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.3/ > html/rest_api_guide/services#services-template-methods-export > > https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.3/ > html/rest_api_guide/services#services-vm-methods-export > > Also, Comparing the 'export' method for VMs and templates, it's not clear if > the templates can be exported to OVA files indicating a host, directory and > filename (it's possible). Yes, need to have a similar documentation for templates as well The newly added documentation for templates are available in the link: https://{OVIRT-ENGINE-HOST}/ovirt-engine/apidoc/#services/template/methods/export It looks good to me. Verified on RHV 4.5.1-3. Env: - Engine instance with RHV 4.5.1-3 (ovirt-engine-4.5.1.2-0.11.el8ev) and RHEL 8.6 installed. - 2 hosts with RHV 4.5.1-3 and RHEL 8.6 and with vdsm-4.50.1.3-1.el8ev. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For information on the advisory (Moderate: RHV Manager (ovirt-engine) [ovirt-4.5.1] security, bug fix and update), and where to find the updated files, follow the link below. If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report. https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2022:5555 Due to QE capacity we are not going to cover this issue in our automation |
