[Users] Pools and pre-started VM in 3.2

Hello, f18 node + f18 engine, both in 3.2 final. If I create a pool, the "prestarted VM" field is grayed out. See: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvN3d2a0drb0szYk0/edit?usp=sharing After creation of this 5-VM pool, I can go and edit it and set 2 in prestarted field, and after several seconds 2 VM are correctly started by engine. Do I have to configure any engine parameter to be able to set prestarted VM at pool creation? Or is this the expected behavior to set only on edit? Thanks, Gianluca

Works as design, when creating a pool you still do not know/have all VMs, so you cannot guarantee they would be prestarted. So when the pool is really created, then you edit and defined number of prestarted VMs. Am I right? jbelka
