Hi Nitin, thanks for your reply. But I don"t want to keep the template on the primary storage after 1 hour. I have a lot of template in CloudStack, around one template for one VM. If I have 20 VM, I have 20 templates on CloudStack. So I don"t want to use twice space on the primary storage. Where can I change this rule ?
