Question

allow VM discovery on connected ovirt clusters when building a backup job

When creating a backup job with VMs in a ovirt cluster, you are not allowed to select all VMs associated to that cluster.  You have to individually select each one for that job.  This is not ideal if your VM inventory changes and you are not aware.  Why can’t ovirt we have the same function as VMW cluster backups.

Hi ​@pnguyen - Welcome to the Community!

That sounds like a pretty good feature request to me. I would recommend going onto the Forums to let the Product Managers know. Or, maybe even go to the Ideas page here on the Hub and make your request known. Hopefully it gets added for you soon!

Why don’t you use tags for a dynamic job?
