NACK, as I said with previous postings, this does not belong in libvirt APIs, it should be built as a layer above. [AB]: Thanks for reviewing this Daniel. I completly understand the concern of not making it part of libvirt API, but as discussed in other thread (https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-December/msg00385.html) I was unable to find API supported way to upload OVA disk to the ESX server (which is an integral part of OVA install).
Further this API design fundamentally flawed as it is assuming the hypervisor driver can access files that are on the libvirt application machine which is not the case in general. [AB]: If possible please suggest if there can be any other way to overcome this design flaw. Further, there are two unrealted reviews that I posted fixing issues with exisitng ESX driver, it would be useful if someone can review them.
