Thanks Arik, I am interested in the Thin approach. Is it not possible to create it on another storage domain ? Even with API ?
I read here http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/4.4/#services/vms *When creating a virtual machine from a template or from a snapshot it is usually useful to explicitly indicate in what storage domain to create the disks for the virtual machine. If the virtual machine is created from a template then this is achieved passing a set of disk_attachment elements that indicate the mapping:* Thanks, Shantur On Mon, Aug 9, 2021 at 11:19 AM Arik Hadas <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Mon, Aug 9, 2021 at 12:55 PM Shantur Rathore <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> I have multiple storage domains in my DC.
