Hi Itamar,<br>
<br>
Thanks for the update....Yes.. i want to create different size VM with<br>
the same OS template...<br>
<br>
------------<br>
3. we support "disk resize" since 3.4 (iirc), which you can do post VM<br>
provisioning.<br>
<br>
considering #3, then #1 should be easy to support as well these days.<br>
please open an RFE.<br>
------------<br>
<br>
Could you please more elaborate point number 3...how to use it..i will<br>
go with this one ...<br>

iirc, you just need to edit the disk size when vm is down or up (for up, only for specific disk interfaces, virtio-blk, not ide, iirc)<br>

Hi Michal,<br>
<br>
I want to deploy the VM with the template but the problem is in<br>
ovirt<br>
when you deploy the VM by template it copy the whole image(even<br>
thin or<br>
thick disk)...like if i have 40GB virtual size (actual size 1GB)<br>
disk....it will copy the whole 40GB to provision the virtual<br>
machine....so if i want to deploy 10 VM simultaneous then it<br>
will copy<br>
4TB data and take long time to provision....<br>
<br>
I want the way i can make the template with small size....and once i<br>
choose to create the virtual machine with 40GB...the VM deploy<br>
with the<br>
small template on the 40GB disk... is it possible with ovirt.. ??<br>
<br>
<br>
so you want to provision a VM with a different disk size than template.<br>
good point. some thoughts:<br>
1. for thinly provisioned (qcow2) - its COW, hence the same size.<br>
2. for clone - actually, no reason shouldn't be supported easily.<br>
3. we support "disk resize" since 3.4 (iirc), which you can do post<br>
VM provisioning.<br>
<br>
considering #3, then #1 should be easy to support as well these<br>
days. please open an RFE.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
You would have to do that inside the guest…the same way as<br>
you would<br>
do it on real hardware…mount both disks, move the relevant data<br>
not trivial and not automated<br>
<br>
><br>
> Another question is there any way to mount the img like<br>
i will<br>
create the VM with blank template with my preferred disk<br>
size and<br>
leter on install the OS through any OS template ??? i know<br>
i can<br>
install the OS through CD-ISO but i don't want the manual<br>
installation…<br>
<br>
so you want to have a preinstalled OS…so how did you want<br>
to use it?<br>
I probably don't understand what are you trying to achieve.<br>
Anything else than having a Template with OS and you deploy<br>
VMs from<br>
that….you need to change disk sizes for each such VM? Could<br>
it be<br>
done by adding an additional disk?<br>
<br>
