DaanHoogland commented on issue #3748: [WIP DO NOT MERGE] Systemvm template api URL: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/3748#issuecomment-579693778 > > @Spaceman1984 > > this implementation looks complicated. > > IMHO, if cloudstack allows admin to change a template from USER to SYSTEM, it is good enough for me. ... > Hi @weizhouapache > > This implementation may seem complicated because it adds a few more features. It will allow the following: > > * Remove the need to upload a template as a user and then change a global setting. > > * Allow a system VM template to be installed without any secondary storage virtual machine running. > > * Remove the necessity for an admin to manually run a shell script to install the system VM template on a fresh installation of Cloudstack. > > * Add options on the zone creation wizard to copy the system VM template from an existing zone, upload a system VM template from local, download and install the official Cloudstack system VM template or through specifying a URL. @weizhouapache, I agree that for an advanced developer and - user, as you are, most of this PR would not be needed. The important one to note above is th second bullit that @Spaceman1984 describes; "Allow a system VM template to be installed without any secondary storage virtual machine running.". Other than that there is a lot of convenience for less advanced users. With that in mind, do you approve of this PR?
