The default setting should depend on Optimized for: Desktop/Server on the template. So when it creates Thin/Dependent VM for Server template, I think that is a bug. I created an issue. Thank you for bringing that up. https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-web-ui/issues/882 Best regards, Lucie

When you use template with disk on a storage that doesn't support sparsify, then it will not create thin disk on it. But I'm not sure how exactly that works. What ovirt version you have? I've found some BZ with problem creating raw disks from template, that should be fixed in 4.3. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1471138 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1471138>
