[ovirt-users] Ballooning disabled when creating a VmPool

11 Nov 2020

      Hi,

We're using oVirt 4.3.8 along with ovirt-engine-sdk-python (4.4.1) to 
handle our pools.

Pools are based on a template which has ballooning enabled. However, 
when deploying a VmPool based on that template, has the "Ballooning 
enabled" field disabled, uneditable and an icon which states: "The field 
is not attached to any instance type" (screenshot attached).

We're handling a big number of VMs based on pools (> 1500), and we think 
this should be enabled.

However, I don't see a field in the types.VmPool definition that allows 
that.

Is that even doable? Our Python code is similar to this:

    newpool = types.VmPool(name='test',
                                              cluster=cl,
                                              template=t,
                                              max_user_vms=1,
                                              size=1,
    type=types.VmPoolType.MANUAL)
    vmpool_serv.add(newpool)

  * cl is a types.Cluster instance with ballooning_enabled=True
  * t is a types.Template instance with Ballooning enabled.

Thanks.

Nico
