Possible to upload/download a VM?
I'm trying to figure out a way to programmatically upload and download VM
images, and I haven't yet found anything in the docs or playing around in
the UI that jumps out at me.
To download from OpenStack, the story I would follow is
1) Snapshot a VM. This would create an image (or set of images) that I
could easily download from glance (the image storage service)
2) Download the resulting image(s).
Uploading is just as straightforward:
1) Upload to glance
2) Create an instance.
I can see from what I've looked at so far that CloudStack does things a bit
differently. Is there a path to what I want to accomplish? Templates &
Volumes don't look to have quite what I want, but I could be wrong. Looking
at the UI, I couldn't even figure out how to upload local files, only files
being served up via HTTP or FTP.
I'm currently using the .NET SDK and CloudStack 4.2.1. I've got to say, as
SDKs go, this one has been pretty great to work with. I'm just stumped by
this task.
Thanks,
Chris

Update:
As it's an asynchronous job, I just wasn't waiting long enough for it to
give me a useful result. Once I did that, the jobresult from
queryAsyncJobResult contained the URL along with some other useful info.
Thanks all for the input. It was helpful.
The URL itself contains 10-50-66-41.realhostip.com. I assume I'm supposed
to convert that to 10.50.66.41?

Re: Possible to upload/download a VM?
Posted by chris <cd...@gmail.com>.
I did look at that. Unfortunately, I don't see a way to get the file URL
from the job info.
For this task, I'm just going to try using RestSharp to manually create
REST requests to the API instead of trying to use the SDK.

Re: Possible to upload/download a VM?

Many of the jobs in CloudStack are Async jobs. You can query the status /
progress of the job using this API
http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/api/apidocs-4.2/root_admin/queryAsyncJobR
esult.html
Additionally, you can create VM snapshots in CloudStack too.
All the admin APIs are listed on :
http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/api/apidocs-4.2/TOC_Root_Admin.html

Re: Possible to upload/download a VM?
Posted by chris <cd...@gmail.com>.
So if I understand correctly, what I want to do is something like
extractVolume, then download the resulting file from the URL in the
response. It looks like Templates have similar functionality, although I'm
not sure why I'd use them instead of Volumes.
However, here is my current issue with the .Net SDK: it doesn't have an
extractVolume command. When I create a custom APIRequest with a command
parameter of extractVolume (and the other required parameters), the
response that comes back is an XDocument (not an APIResponse as is stated
in the design docs), the only element of which is a jobid. I don't see a
way to query the jobid to get the information that I need.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Possible to upload/download a VM?

Chris,
I had to do something similar in Ruby, here is the code:
https://gist.github.com/pdion891/793b7d4d1380e3f45c9e
This create defined templates from json file in cloudstack which will
download it from the URL.

Cloudmonkey isn't really an option in my case.
I wasn't aware that extractVolume could be applied to VMs in anyway. I'll
look into it.

Hi,
You can either use the API directly (look at extractVolume) or through Cloudmonkey.
This is how I would use Cloudmonkey to retrieve a volume:
"extract volume id=fe81e6ff-a08f-4601-b2b3-2e02ce2b6588 zoneid=19345de0-b40b-4cfa-83b6-6d821367afa8 mode=HTTP_DOWNLOAD" which will return:
accountid = 2c4c9cd2-ab73-11e3-b654-9660573836d5
cmd = org.apache.cloudstack.api.command.user.volume.ExtractVolumeCmd
created = 2014-06-13T11:24:24+0100
jobid = 69e6bf53-ab95-44ab-8efc-2f436dba9ecc
jobprocstatus = 0
jobresult:
volume:
name = ROOT-7
id = fe81e6ff-a08f-4601-b2b3-2e02ce2b6588
accountid = 2c4c9cd2-ab73-11e3-b654-9660573836d5
extractMode = HTTP_DOWNLOAD
state = DOWNLOAD_URL_CREATED
url = https://1-2-3-4.realhostip.com/userdata/32050352-899f-4f56-8e38-018110f8e973.qcow2
zoneid = 19345de0-b40b-4cfa-83b6-6d821367afa8
zonename = advsg
jobresultcode = 0
jobresulttype = object
jobstatus = 1
userid = 2c4cc626-ab73-11e3-b654-9660573836d5
It's the URL field that you are interested in, you can retrieve that freely. I do not know if there is an expiry time for it, there might be.
You can extract templates, snapshots of the volumes of stopped VMs.

Subject: Possible to upload/download a VM?
I'm trying to figure out a way to programmatically upload and download VM
images, and I haven't yet found anything in the docs or playing around in
the UI that jumps out at me.
To download from OpenStack, the story I would follow is
1) Snapshot a VM. This would create an image (or set of images) that I
could easily download from glance (the image storage service)
2) Download the resulting image(s).
Uploading is just as straightforward:
1) Upload to glance
2) Create an instance.
I can see from what I've looked at so far that CloudStack does things a bit
differently. Is there a path to what I want to accomplish? Templates &
Volumes don't look to have quite what I want, but I could be wrong. Looking
at the UI, I couldn't even figure out how to upload local files, only files
being served up via HTTP or FTP.
I'm currently using the .NET SDK and CloudStack 4.2.1. I've got to say, as
SDKs go, this one has been pretty great to work with. I'm just stumped by
this task.
Thanks,
Chris
