Re: [Users] Unable to Remove Template, if VM exists.
As long as the vm is linked to the template (which means you created the vm as a thin provision copy) you cannot delete the template. what you can do to work around this is: 1. export the vm and template to an export domain 2. delete the vm and template from the source setup only 3. try to import the vm as clone other way is: 1. create a template from the vm 2. create a new vm from the template (make sure to create a clone and not a thin copy this time :)) Dafna On 02/19/2014 06:22 AM, Tejesh M wrote: Hi All, I'm not able to Delete Template, if the VM is exists which is deployed from that Template.

This way you can create _1_ template, then create _1000_ VM's, and they´ll only take up the space of that single template, and then build up on the changes that are "new" for each VM. If you want to be able to still delete a template, I suggest you choose to provision new VM's "cloned" from that template, instead of "thin". You can however just rename it to something else like "deprecated_template01" and leave it like that. Otherwise your only option is to create a new disk for that VM, start it up from a Live-CD and "dd" the operating disk over onto the new, then delete the old disk, perhaps rename the new disk from "_Disk2" to "_Disk1" instead and remember to mark it "Bootable". Repeat this process for every VM that is thin provisioned from this template and then you can finally delete the template. -- Med Vänliga Hälsningar --- Karli Sjöberg Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences Box 7079 (Visiting Address Kronåsvägen 8) S-750 07 Uppsala, Sweden Phone: +46-(0)18-67 15 66 karli.sjob...@slu.se ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
