That _is_ what I did! <br><br>Hmm. Makes it an external process to track VM lineage without that data. <br><br>So use the thin-provision only to allow this tracking. And this works with windows VMs? will test shortly.<br><br>

Greetings,<br>
<br>
I've built several new templates from the blank template and a ISO<br>
install of various OS's. However, when I built a new VM using the new<br>
template(s), the new VM still says it's based from the blank template. I<br>
expected it to say it was from the "template-foo" U specified. The VM is<br>
correctly built from the template so I think it's a generation/database<br>
issue.<br>

I'm guessing you used 'clone' (default for new server) rather than 'thinly provisioned' (default for new desktop).<br>
clone means the template disk is copied/cloned for better performance, rather than COW (less space).<br>
when the disk is cloned, there is no longer a relation to the original template at storage level.<br>
