Hello

I'm a new guy in ovirt 3.3.5, I try to change a pool's template. When I edit the pool, the option "Based of Template" is gay. How to do that? I don't want to delete and rebuild again.

you cannot change pool's template, because it means replacing all the disks for all the vms in the pool, which is basically the same as removing the pool and creating a new one.

but, you can do something similar in 3.4, using template versions: in 3.4, when you create the pool, you can select a template and LATEST as the version. when you create a new template, you can make it a version of the original template, and the pool will update to this template.

I tried this features with oVirt 3.4.1, but it didn't work as expected.

When selecting latest and a guest is shut down it will be deleted. The expected behavior would be that a new vm with the newest version of this template (latest subtemplate) would be started.

The actual behavior is the following: VM will be deleted, pool is decreased by 1 vm and vm is started as a standalone (desktop) vm.

So the whole pool features is broken when using latest template feature (in 3.4.1 - didn't test it with 3.4.2 yet).

thanks for reporting, i've just merged a fix to master http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/28861/

Regards, René
