Hi, I've got 4 VMs on a 3.6 cluster, and they are listed as based on a template called 'sl6-workstation', yet I cannot find this template anywhere listed in the templates tab or tree. When I go to create a new VM, it gives me the option in the template section to use: sl6-workstation(1) or sl6-workstation(latest) I'm not sure what the difference between these two are, but I'm curious why it doesn't give me the option of not to use a template. It will even be the only option if I select FreeBSD or some other non-sl6 OS. Any ideas? Thanks, Cam

Hi Cam, Could it be a permission issue ? Regards, Fred On Mon, Apr 18, 2016 at 1:14 AM, Campbell McLeay < campbell.mcleay@framestore.com> wrote:

Hi Fred, Thanks for the reply. Possibly, but where would I check? I'm logged in to ovirt web GUI as the admin user - is there something that sets permissions on templates that I am not seeing perhaps? Regards, Campbell On 18 April 2016 at 13:27, Fred Rolland <frolland@redhat.com> wrote:

they are the same, until you start creating template subversions of that base sl6-workstation one. It makes sense only for stateless pool VMs to use (latest) version, as it keeps moving with the template’s updates then.

do you mean there’s no Blank? Blank is a sort-of-a-template stub with defaults representing an “empty” VM Thanks, michal
Any ideas?
