[RFE] OVF descriptor file data via the REST API for the Active VM
Last modified: 2015-09-22 09:09 EDT
This OVF information is presented by the RESTAPI if it is available in the database, the limitation is that for the active VM the database doesn't populate the vm_configuration column of the snapshots table. Once that column is populated the RESTAPI will automatically provide the information.
This bug is referenced in ovirt-engine-3.4.0-beta3 logs. Moving to ON_QA

I don't see any network/nic information in the xml. Is this by design?
it's contained in the ovf as well, i assume that the tested vm just didn't have any nics. quick note, as mentioned by metial - recieving the ovf of the active vm is done using a get request to /api/vms/GUID/ or /api/vms with the header All-Content (value : true) and not through /snapshots.
Indeed the tested vm didn't have any nic.
