The new VM (direved from the template clone task) is fully usable and on the webadmin the task is shown as "completed".

OK, I did the following test: - created a new VM from my custom template (with cloned Disk) - waited for the job to complete - manually deleted the related DB entry from the table "async_tasks" - set host/node to maintenance - rebootet engine Result: The VM did NOT disappear! :-) I think somehow ovirt-engine does get the results of the job wrong, thus it does not recognize that the job completed *successfully* and does a retry after reboot (which fails horribly and leads to disappearing VMs).
