Good question, Mitja. @Gilad:
1. Does the 'VmCreator' Role contain the 'consume-quota' action? so when granting "VmCreator" on Data Center "DC1" to user "User1", "User1" can automatically consume any quota defined in "DC1" (including, for example, "TemplateQuota", in Mitja's case)? 2. Related to both your previous reply and my previous reply: Can a user associate a CPU/RAM Quota to a VM that he is now *creating*, even if he doesn't have consume-quota permissions on that CPU/RAM Quota? In Mitja's case, he attempted to create a VM associated with both "TemplateQuota" and "UserQuota", while the user (maybe - depends on answer to 1) didn't have permission to consume "TemplateQuota", and the VM creation succeeded. Is that OK? [if the answer to both questions is "no", there is a chance that Mitja discovered a bug] ---- Thanks, Einav ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Mitja Mihelič" <mitja.mihe...@arnes.si> > To: "Einav Cohen" <eco...@redhat.com> > Cc: users@ovirt.org > Sent: Friday, October 4, 2013 8:14:10 AM > Subject: Re: [Users] Quota for VMs created from templates > > In addition to the described setup: > The user was also given a permission on the data center with the role > VmCreator. > The user is not listed as a consumer of TemplateQuota, but they have an > inherited role VmCreator in the permissions tab. > Could this permission be the reason the user can create and run VMs that > are associated with TemplateQuota? > > Regards, > Mitja > > -- > Mitja Mihelič > ARNES, Tehnološki park 18, p.p. 7, SI-1001 Ljubljana, Slovenia > tel: +386 1 479 8877, fax: +386 1 479 88 78 > > On 10/03/2013 05:06 PM, Einav Cohen wrote: > > AFAIK, a user cannot create a VM that is associated with one (or more) > > quota objects on which he doesn't > > have consumer permissions. > > i.e. if the VM was created successfully by the user, and this VM is > > associated with TemplateQuota, and > > with the quota that has been created for the user (let's call it > > UserQuota), it means that the user has > > consumer permissions on both TemplateQuota and UserQuota. > > If the user doesn't have permissions on one of these Quota objects - the > > fact that the VM has been created > > successfully sounds like a bug to me. > > > > ---- > > Thanks, > > Einav > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > >> From: "Mitja Mihelič" <mitja.mihe...@arnes.si> > >> To: users@ovirt.org > >> Sent: Thursday, October 3, 2013 9:59:06 AM > >> Subject: [Users] Quota for VMs created from templates > >> > >> Hi! > >> > >> We are running engine version 3.3.0 on CentOS6 and we have come across a > >> problem, possibly a bug. > >> When a user creates a VM from a template, the template's quota is > >> assigned to the VM. > >> > >> Here is the setup: > >> - quota is set to Enforced on the data center > >> - quota is created for template purposes (TemplateQuota) > >> - a template is created from a sealed VM with TemplateQuota assigned to it > >> - quota is created for a user, the user is set as its consumer > >> - the user creates a VM from the mentioned template and leaves the quota > >> unchanged > >> - the created VM consumes the user's storage quota but does not consume > >> their memory and CPU quota > >> > >> This way a user can create and run an arbitrary number of VMs as long > >> they stay within their storage quota. > >> No errors are reported in the logs. > >> > >> Kind regards, > >> Mitja Mihelic > >> > >> -- > >> -- > >> Mitja Mihelič > >> ARNES, Tehnološki park 18, p.p. 7, SI-1001 Ljubljana, Slovenia > >> tel: +386 1 479 8877, fax: +386 1 479 88 78 > >> > >> > >> _______________________________________________ > >> Users mailing list > >> Users@ovirt.org > >> http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users > >> > > > _______________________________________________ > Users mailing list > Users@ovirt.org > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users > _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
