12.6.1. Export Storage Domains
Storage domains with
type set to export contain vms and templates sub-collections, which list the import candidate VMs and templates stored on that particular storage domain.
Example 12.6. Listing the virtual machines sub-collection of an export storage domain

VMs and templates in these collections have a similar representation to their counterparts in the top-level VMs and templates collection, except they also contain a
storage_domain reference and an import action.
The
import action imports a virtual machine or a template from an export storage domain. The destination cluster and storage domain is specified with cluster and storage_domain references.
Include an optional
name element to give the virtual machine or template a specific name.
Example 12.7. Action to import a virtual machine from an export storage domain
POST /api/storagedomains/fabe0451-701f-4235-8f7e-e20e458819ed/vms/

<action>
<storage_domain>

</storage_domain>
<cluster>

</action>
Example 12.8. Action to import a template from an export storage domain
POST /api/storagedomains/fabe0451-701f-4235-8f7e-e20e458819ed/templates/

<action>
<storage_domain>
<name>images0</name>
</storage_domain>
<cluster>

</action>
Include an optional
clone Boolean element to import the virtual machine as a new entity.
Example 12.9. Action to import a virtual machine as a new entity
POST /api/storagedomains/fabe0451-701f-4235-8f7e-e20e458819ed/vms/

</action>
Include an optional
disks element to choose which disks to import using individual disk id elements.
Example 12.10. Selecting disks for an import action
POST /api/storagedomains/fabe0451-701f-4235-8f7e-e20e458819ed/vms/

</action>
Delete a virtual machine or template from an
export storage domain with a DELETE request.
Example 12.11. Delete virtual machine from an export storage domain
DELETE /api/storagedomains/fabe0451-701f-4235-8f7e-e20e458819ed/vms/ 082c794b-771f-452f-83c9-b2b5a19c0399 HTTP/1.1 Accept: application/xml HTTP/1.1 204 No Content
