Re: [Users] Quota for VMs created from templates
AFAIK, a user cannot create a VM that is associated with one (or more) quota objects on
which he doesn't
have consumer permissions.
i.e. if the VM was created successfully by the user, and this VM is associated with
TemplateQuota, and
with the quota that has been created for the user (let's call it UserQuota), it means
that the user has
consumer permissions on both TemplateQuota and UserQuota.
If the user doesn't have permissions on one of these Quota objects - the fact that the
VM has been created
successfully sounds like a bug to me.

Subject: [Users] Quota for VMs created from templates
Hi!
We are running engine version 3.3.0 on CentOS6 and we have come across a
problem, possibly a bug.
When a user creates a VM from a template, the template's quota is
assigned to the VM.
Here is the setup:
- quota is set to Enforced on the data center
- quota is created for template purposes (TemplateQuota)
- a template is created from a sealed VM with TemplateQuota assigned to it
- quota is created for a user, the user is set as its consumer
- the user creates a VM from the mentioned template and leaves the quota
unchanged
- the created VM consumes the user's storage quota but does not consume
their memory and CPU quota
This way a user can create and run an arbitrary number of VMs as long
they stay within their storage quota.
No errors are reported in the logs.
Kind regards,
Mitja Mihelic
