Feature request: add stateless option in VM pool configuration
I'd like to request a setting in VM pools which forces the VM to be stateless. I see from the docs this will occur if selected under run once, or started from the user portal, but it would be nice to set this for a normal admin start of the VM(s) as well.
I should also mention that I can't start multiple pool VM's at the same time with run-once from the admin portal, so I'd have to individually run once each VM which is a member of the pool. On Fri, Aug 21, 2015 at 3:57 PM, Steve Dainard <sdainard@spd1.com> wrote:

As a workaround, if you create the Pool using the "latest" version of a template, all the VMs in that pool will automatically be stateless. -----Original Message----- From: users-bounces@ovirt.org [mailto:users-bounces@ovirt.org] On Behalf Of Steve Dainard Sent: Friday, August 21, 2015 5:12 PM To: users Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] Feature request: add stateless option in VM pool configuration I should also mention that I can't start multiple pool VM's at the same time with run-once from the admin portal, so I'd have to individually run once each VM which is a member of the pool.

maybe can you explain more about your use-case? in general vms in vm-pool are all stateless, they are meant to be used by users from user portal, that 'take a vm from pool', use it for anything, and when 'returned to pool' the state is wiped. currently there is no way for admin to take vms from the web admin On Sat, Aug 22, 2015 at 2:12 AM, Steve Dainard <sdainard@spd1.com> wrote:

vm-pool has option for 'pre-started' vms, you can set amount of vms that will be running and ready to be taken by users, this helps?
