Hi,
We upgraded from oVirt 3.5 and 3.6 and deleted the Default cluster, so now we have the Blank template with no DC and no Cluster, thus our users can't use it.
Is there a way to manually set these two parameters to the current DC and Cluster values for the Blank template? I tried editing it but see no option to set them.
Thanks.

Hi Nicolás,
Removing the default cluster should be ok, since the templates don't bind VMs to a DC/Cluster--you should be able to specify the DC/Cluster when creating a VM.

Hi Greg,
I'll elaborate a bit further on the issue. I'm attaching a screenshot of the 'Templates' tab on the webadmin pane - As you can see, all of them have a Data Center and a Cluster assigned (columns 4 and 5) but the Blank template (because we deleted the default DC). Even if this template has the 'Everyone' permission, as we're granting permissions to our users on the Data Center, they are not able to see the Blank template in the list when deploying new machines in the userportal view, so currently they necessarily need to choose a template from the list which is not Blank, and that's an issue to some of them.
That's why I was wondering if there's a manual way to assign the DC and Cluster to the Blank template, even modifying it directly in the DB, so the users see it in the userportal.
Any hint is very appreciated.
Regards,
Nicolás
The default template is unbound to a DC/Cluster by design, so while forcing an assignment in the db could work (not sure), it's not supported and likely to break at some point. See [1] for details on that 3.6 change. However, since the root issue seems to be users not being able to use the template, you should be able to assign permissions that allow this from the Templates > Permissions sub-tab. If this isn't working, it could be a bug. [1] http://wiki.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/virt/blank-to-defa...
