https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/1773
@jburwell That was default behavior for few years to allow deletion of the
template even if active VMs exist. Deletion of the template on secondary
doesn't remove the template copy on primary storage so all existing VM function
work just fine.
From my prospective if we allow forced deletion from the UI I am fine with
switching default to forced=no and documenting it in Release Notes.

> Consider this scenario:
> 1. User launches a VM from Template and keep it running
> 2. Admin logins and deleted that template [CloudPlatform does not check
> existing / running VM etc. while the deletion is done]
> 3. User resets the VM
> 4. CloudPlatform fails to star the VM as it cannot find the corresponding
> template.
> It throws error as
> java.lang.RuntimeException: Job failed due to exception Resource [Host:11] is
> unreachable: Host 11: Unable to start instance due to can't find ready
> template: 209 for data center 1

> org.apache.cloudstack.framework.jobs.impl.AsyncJobManagerImpl$5.runInContext(AsyncJobManagerImpl.java:495)
> Client is requesting better handing of this scenario. We need to check
> existing / running VM's when the template is deleted and warn admin about the
> possible issue that may occur.
> REPRO STEPS
> ==================
> 1. Launches a VM from Template and keep it running
> 2. Now delete that template
> 3. Reset the VM
> 4. CloudPlatform fails to star the VM as it cannot find the corresponding
> template.
> EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
> ==================
> Cloud platform should throw some warning message while the template is
> deleted if that template is being used by existing / running VM's
> ACTUAL BEHAVIOR
> ==================
> Cloud platform does not throw as waring etc.
