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. 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).
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!

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.
