Re: [ovirt-users] Template Independent vs Dependent

Hello,
if I create VM from template through web manager, it shows in General -
Template "Clone/Independent". When created through REST API, it shows
"Thin/Dependent". When it is Thin/Dependent, it is not possible to
remove used template but VM creation is much faster. I would like to
have more info about this but cannot find any. So I cannot find how to
create Independent with REST API.
Thanks, Jiri
You have to use the "disks.clone" parameter, for example:
#!/bin/sh -ex
url="https://ovirt.example.com/ovirt-engine/api"
user="admin@internal"
password="******"
curl \
--verbose \
--insecure \
--request POST \
--user "${user}:${password}" \
--header "Content-Type: application/xml" \
--header "Accept: application/xml" \
--data "
<vm>
<name>myvm</name>
<cluster>
<name>mycluster</name>
</cluster>
<template>
<name>mytemplate</name>
</template>
<disks>
<clone>true</clone>
</disks>
</vm>
" \
"${url}/vms"
