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" -- Dirección Comercial: C/Jose Bardasano Baos, 9, Edif.
