Hi,
 
I am using the ovirt 3.5 and when i create VM from the template through Ovirt web portal, it displays Template is "Clone/Independent"but with the same template When i create through REST API, it shows  "Thin/Dependent"...
 
I Found one email thread ( https://www.mail-archive.com/users@ovirt.org/msg21271.html ) from the community for the same issue but even using their method still it display the same "Thin/Dependent".
 
I am using the following xml :- 
 
<vm>
 <name>$name</name>
   <cluster>
     <name>phase1</name>
   </cluster>
   <cpu>
        <topology cores='$core' sockets='$socket'/>
      </cpu>
   <memory>$memory</memory>
   <template>
     <name>$templatetype</name>
   </template> 
  <disks>
      <clone>true</clone>
   </disks>
</vm>
