- Original Message - From: Jim Kinney jim.kin...@gmail.com To: users@ovirt.org Sent: Sunday, December 9, 2012 7:22:32 PM Subject: [Users] mislabelled template source Greetings, I've built several new templates from the blank template and a ISO install of various OS's. However, when I built a new VM using the new template(s), the new VM still says it's based from the blank template. I expected it to say it was from the template-foo U specified. The VM is correctly built from the template so I think it's a generation/database issue. Hi Jim Did you created the VM from the Web Admin UI or from the API ? -- -- James P.
