<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><br></div>Hello,<br><br></div>When I create virtual machine from a template (centos6.5, 2 cores, 8GB mem, 500GB hd) this process takes almost 2 hours. I click on "New VM" button and just select the template and click ok.<br>
<br></div>engine.log show me high network consumption (98%) between engine-server host and SPM host.<br><br></div>I tried to make my engine-server host a spm host too, but without sucess. <br><br></div><div></div><div>
<br></div>Does SPM can run over on the same ovirt-engine machine ? <br><br></div>Am I make something wrong? Or create VM from template is really slow ? <br><br><br></div>my servers :<br></div>srv-0202 = ovirt-engine , vdsm <br>
srv-0203 = spm , vdsm <br>srv-0204 = vdsm<br></div>These servers are dell blades connected on a 100GB switch.<br><br><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><br><br></div><div>thanks <br><br>
