Hey,

I have created a template that the disk is a thick (raw) with a size of 15GB.

I am trying to create a VM from that template but having the disk with a much larger size, both template and the VM are set to use thick and I create  the new VM with the clone option, so there’s no link between the new VM and the template.

So far the only solution I managed to find is to adjust the size after creating the VM.

For example, this situation causes a problematic step when using Foreman/Satelite as trying to provision a VM based on a template but with different size for the OS disk.

 

I assume that one of the ways to solve it is to convert the template somehow into an “image”? like using OpenStack Glance as a place to store “templates” as images? Any other way besides using Glance?

 

Thanks!
