Yes, you should be able to assign a VM to a CPU/RAM quota, without being a consumer of that quota, the check is done only when running the VM (when the resources are consumed).

There is a difference between User and Admin Portal: in User portal quota list is being populated by quota that can be consumed by the user, so leaving the quota unchanged will selected an appropriate quota; also while creating a VM, disk's quota is set in 'Resource Allocation' tab (see image). @Mitja, Please check which quota(s) are assigned to VM while consuming the resources, and who is the user performing the task. > > [if the answer to both questions is "no", there is a chance that Mitja > discovered a bug] > > ---- > Thanks, > Einav > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Mitja Mihelič" <mitja.mihelic(a)arnes.si&gt; > > To: "Einav Cohen" <ecohen(a)redhat.com&gt; > > Cc: users(a)ovirt.org > > Sent: Friday, October 4, 2013 8:14:10 AM > > Subject: Re: [Users] Quota for VMs created from templates > > > > In addition to the described setup: > > The user was also given a permission on the data center with the role > > VmCreator. > > The user is not listed as a consumer of TemplateQuota, but they have an > > inherited role VmCreator in the permissions tab. > > Could this permission be the reason the user can create and run VMs that > > are associated with TemplateQuota? > > > > Regards, > > Mitja > > > > -- > > Mitja Mihelič > > ARNES, Tehnološki park 18, p.p. 7, SI-1001 Ljubljana, Slovenia > > tel: +386 1 479 8877, fax: +386 1 479 88 78 > > > > On 10/03/2013 05:06 PM, Einav Cohen wrote: > > > 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. > > > > > > ---- > > > Thanks, > > > Einav > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > >> From: "Mitja Mihelič" <mitja.mihelic(a)arnes.si&gt; > > >> To: users(a)ovirt.org > > >> Sent: Thursday, October 3, 2013 9:59:06 AM > > >> 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 > > >> > > >> -- > > >> -- > > >> Mitja Mihelič > > >> ARNES, Tehnološki park 18, p.p. 7, SI-1001 Ljubljana, Slovenia > > >> tel: +386 1 479 8877, fax: +386 1 479 88 78 > > >> > > >> > > >> _______________________________________________ > > >> Users mailing list > > >> Users(a)ovirt.org > > >> http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users > > >> > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Users mailing list > > Users(a)ovirt.org > > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users > > > _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
