Hi Sean, It is not necessary to register the system VM template as Routing. During the upgrade process ACS detects the registered template by name and sets its type to SYSTEM.
The link - http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/adminguide/systemvm.html which mentions specifying 'Routing' as the template type is done in case one wants to override an existing system VM template with a new one for deploying Virtual routers and internal LBs Regards, Pearl ________________________________ From: Sean Lair <sl...@ippathways.com> Sent: Thursday, June 9, 2022 1:47 AM To: dev@cloudstack.apache.org <dev@cloudstack.apache.org> Subject: SystemVM Type? Routing or System? We have some confusion on which Template Type SystemVM templates should be set to. The documentation seems to be inconsistent, could someone help clarify? The following URL says to set "Routing" to NO when registering a new SystemVM Template: http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/upgrading/upgrade/upgrade-4.16.html The following URL says to "select Routing": http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/adminguide/systemvm.html The following URL says to manually edit the DB and make it type "System": https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/adminguide/templates/_bypass-secondary-storage-kvm.html?highlight=bypass%20secondary UPDATE cloud.vm_template SET type='SYSTEM' WHERE uuid='UUID_OF_NEW_TEMPLATE'; Thanks Sean
