Try what Arik suggested: Open VM > Resource Allocation tab Set "Storage Allocation" to "Thin" This will create create an empty qcow2 image using the template disk as a backing file. No data will be copied when creating the VM. But note that this creates a dependency on the template. You will not be able to move the disk to another storage domain without copying the template to the other storage domain. This also creates a single point of failure - if the template become corrupted all the vm on top of it will break.
