[one-users] 'onevm saveas' via XMLRPC or OCCI???

Hello.

What is the best way to map the "onevm saveas" command [1] to OCCI or
XMLRPC-Request? I need to save vm images but want to avoid using the
command line interface.

I cannot simply use the xmlrpc-call  "one.vm.savedisk" [2] since I then
would need to know the "image id where the disk will be saved". But this
ID will be dynamically created by the "onevm saveas" command, right?
Furthermore where should I place the <image_name> in the XMLRPC-call?
The same problem with OCCI: Are there any attributes (perhaps for the
<CONTEXTUALISATION> section) I can use for the "onevm saveas"?



Thanks
Marco
