Template assignment

------=_Part_5769_1035496700.1401713087099 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Is there any way to change the template assignment of an already created vm? This is related to my live disk migration problem. I found that all of the vms that I created that were based on the out of the box Blank template would fail. I created a new "Default" template and created a vm based on it and was able to live migrate the disk. I need to be able to change the template its based on because I already have close to 30 VMs created based on the old "Blank" template ------=_Part_5769_1035496700.1401713087099 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <html><body><div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000"><div><br>Is there any way to change the template assignment of an already created vm?

blank template doesn't have any disks, so this sounds strange. federico/derez - thoughts?

OK I think I go the problem fixed. I stopped a VM that had the Blank template, exported it, reimported it. Now im able to live migrate disks with no issue. Im going to try reproduce the "fix" on another system that im having the same problem with. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Itamar Heim" <iheim@redhat.com> To: "Maurice James" <mjames@media-node.com>, "users" <users@ovirt.org>, "Federico Simoncelli" <fsimonce@redhat.com>, "Daniel Erez" <derez@redhat.com> Cc: "Allon Mureinik" <amureini@redhat.com> Sent: Monday, June 2, 2014 4:39:12 PM Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] Template assignment On 06/02/2014 03:44 PM, Maurice James wrote:

No I didnt delete the datacenter. I just exported the VM, deleted it then re-imported it ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joop van de Wege" <jvdwege@xs4all.nl> Cc: "users" <users@ovirt.org> Sent: Tuesday, June 3, 2014 1:46:57 AM Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] Template assignment On 3 juni 2014 01:58:30 CEST, Maurice James <mjames@media-node.com> wrote:

OK after repeating the stpes that I followed in my prior posts 1. Stop the VM 2. Export it 3. Delete it (the VM not the export) 4. Re-import the VM After following those steps I was able to live migrate the disks without error. I'm not sure why this fixed the problem,but what I can say is that there was a problem with the default "Blank" template. The problem started when i upgraded from 3.3.3 to 3.3.4. This carried over to the version 3.4.x ----- Original Message ----- From: "Maurice James" <mjames@media-node.com> To: "Itamar Heim" <iheim@redhat.com> Cc: "users" <users@ovirt.org> Sent: Monday, June 2, 2014 7:58:30 PM Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] Template assignment OK I think I go the problem fixed.
