Hi Tamer, Are you familiar with the all in one feature? http://www.ovirt.org/Feature/AllInOne I'm not sure if this can help you now, as you probably don't want to re-install ovirt, right? ----- Original Message -----

Hello,
When I create virtual machine from a template (centos6.5, 2 cores, 8GB mem, 500GB hd) this process takes almost 2 hours. I click on "New VM" button and just select the template and click ok.
engine.log show me high network consumption (98%) between engine-server host and SPM host.
I tried to make my engine-server host a spm host too, but without sucess.
Does SPM can run over on the same ovirt-engine machine ?
Am I make something wrong? Or create VM from template is really slow ?
my servers : srv-0202 = ovirt-engine , vdsm srv-0203 = spm , vdsm srv-0204 = vdsm These servers are dell blades connected on a 100GB switch.
thanks
This is what I know about SPM: http://www.ovirt.org/Storage_-_oVirt_workshop_November_2011
= Storage Pool Manager (SPM) A role assigned to one host in a data center granting it sole authority over:
- Creation, deletion, an dmanipulation of virtula disk images, snapshots and templates - Templates: you can create on VM as a golden image and provision to multiple VMs (QCOW layers) - Allocation of storage for sparse block devices (on SAN) - Thin provisinoing (see below) - Single metadata writer: - SPM lease mechanism (Chockler and Malkhi 2004, Light-Weight Leases for Storage-Cnntric Coordination) - Storage-centric mailbox - This role can be migrated to any host in data center
