Thank you! After testing, manual pool works best for my needs. I hope ovirt document guide us how to manual return vm to the pool, since I need to google it. if I have a 100 vm pool, and need to update them, I need to remove user assignment one by one, any good idea to do that? > >> -- >> Regards, >> John Xue >> _______________________________________________ >> Users mailing list >> [email protected] >> http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users >> -- Regards, John Xue _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
