Re: [ovirt-users] difference between thin/depentend and clone/dependent vm virtual machine

Hello, I created VMs by two ways : 1) on tab virtual machines > new vm > template (centos_65_64bits) 1.1 configuration : I do not select stateless checkbox 1.2 this process takes a 1h30 to create each machine. 2) on tab pools > new vm > template (centos_65_64bits) 2.1 default configuration : stateless 2.2 Here I created 3 virtual machines at once 2.3 this process takes only one minute On the tab virtual machines I can see all virtual machines. Pooled machines have different icon image and description is different too: machines generated from tab VM are described as clone/dependent - clone is a phisical copy? machines generated from tab POOL are described as thin/independent - thin is a just a reference to template vm ? what is phisical? any configuration file?

In practice, what is the difference between these machines ? http://www.ovirt.org/Features/PrestartedVm "Today there are 2 types of Vm pools: • Manual - the Vm is supposed to be manually returned to the pool. In practice, this is not really entirely supported. • Automatic - once the user shuts down the Vm - it returns to the pool (stateless)." all vm created from pool are stateless ?
