Hi Michal,
2. I find disk size can not modify at the time of VM provisioning,is ther= e any way to modify the VM disk size ??
well, not really, AFAIK. create another disk, move your data, remove the original Or create a bigg= er 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 =
--_000_D023975B57C67darrenhartotagoacnz_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable So you essentially want to just deploy a new VM based on a template with a = thin provisioned disk ? When you create your VM based on the template check in advanced options =96= Resource allocation and see if the option there for template provisioning = is set to clone or to thin provision. Clone in your case I believe would cr= eate a 40GB image file based on the template whereas thin provision will cr= eate you a thin provisioned disk just using the same actual data amount as = the thin provisioned template. I=92m pretty sure you can only do this if yo= ur template disk is thin (not preallocated) provisioned.

I want the way i can make the template with small size....and once i choose= to create the virtual machine with 40GB...the VM deploy with the small tem= plate on the 40GB disk... is it possible with ovirt.. ??

Hi, You would have to do that inside the guest=85the same way as you would do i= t on real hardware=85mount 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 th= e OS through any OS template ??? i know i can install the OS through CD-ISO= but i don't want the manual installation=85 so you want to have a preinstalled OS=85so 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= =85.you need to change disk sizes for each such VM? Could it be done by add= ing an additional disk? Thanks, michal
Thanks, Punit

Hi All,
I have some questions regarding the VM deployment through OS template..=

1. I have imported centos template from openstack glance (the actual si=

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