Hi Itamar,
To edit the disk size are you referring this "Another way i got is
create the VM with 1GB virtual template and expand the disk size after
deployment...but the problem here is disk will expand...but it will not
done any changes in the existing partition table..that means after
expand disk you need to manual login in to server and make the changes
with the help of fdisk and lvm commands..."
Or it's different then the upper one...please let me know how to perform
this...if any screen shot you can provide for better understanding..

Hi Itamar,
Thanks for the update....Yes.. i want to create different size
VM with
the same OS template...
------------
3. we support "disk resize" since 3.4 (iirc), which you can do
post VM
provisioning.
considering #3, then #1 should be easy to support as well these
days.
please open an RFE.

Could you please more elaborate point number 3...how to use
it..i will
go with this one ...
iirc, you just need to edit the disk size when vm is down or up (for
up, only for specific disk interfaces, virtio-blk, not ide, iirc)
Thanks,

Hi Michal,
I want to deploy the VM with the template but the
problem is in
ovirt
when you deploy the VM by template it copy the whole
image(even
thin or
thick disk)...like if i have 40GB virtual size (actual
size 1GB)
disk....it will copy the whole 40GB to provision the
virtual
machine....so if i want to deploy 10 VM simultaneous
then it
will copy
4TB data and take long time to provision....
I want the way i can make the template with small
size....and once i
choose to create the virtual machine with 40GB...the VM
deploy
with the
small template on the 40GB disk... is it possible with
ovirt.. ??
so you want to provision a VM with a different disk size
than template.
good point. some thoughts:
1. for thinly provisioned (qcow2) - its COW, hence the same
size.
2. for clone - actually, no reason shouldn't be supported
easily.
3. we support "disk resize" since 3.4 (iirc), which you can
do post
VM provisioning.
considering #3, then #1 should be easy to support as well these
days. please open an RFE.
Thanks,

Hi,
You would have to do that inside the guest…the
same way as
you would
do it on real hardware…mount both disks, move the
relevant data
not trivial and not automated

i will
create the VM with blank template with my
preferred disk
size and
leter on install the OS through any OS template
??? i know
i can
install the OS through CD-ISO but i don't want the
manual
installation…
so you want to have a preinstalled OS…so how did
you want
to use it?
I probably don't understand what are you trying to
achieve.
Anything else than having a Template with OS and
you deploy
VMs from
that….you need to change disk sizes for each such
VM? Could
it be
done by adding an additional disk?
