Hi Michal,
2. I find disk size can not modify at the time of VM provisioning,is there any way to
modify the VM disk size ??
well, not really, AFAIK.
create another disk, move your data, remove the original Or create a bigger thin
provisioned disk at the beginning...
I didn't understand the mean...i can create the another disk...it's ok...but how
to move the data from the existing disk to new disk at the time of the VM deployment... ??
is there any way to move the data.. ??
Hi,
You would have to do that inside the guest…the same way as you would do it on real
hardware…mount both disks, move the relevant data
not trivial and not automated
Another question is there any way to mount the img like i will create the VM with blank
template with my preferred disk size and leter on install the OS through any OS template
??? i know i can install the OS through CD-ISO but i don't want the manual
installation…
so you want to have a preinstalled OS…so how did you want to use it?
I probably don't understand what are you trying to achieve.
Anything else than having a Template with OS and you deploy VMs from that….you need to
change disk sizes for each such VM? Could it be done by adding an additional disk?
Thanks,

if you deploy with thin provisioned disks it should be 1GB
