Is there a method with pools to update (install new apps or updates) a "golden image" and have those updates propagate to a pool? Seems currently you have to create a new template from the image and then create a new pool.

Hi Currently you will have to create a new template from the image and build the pool on top of it ...

Hi, I started writing a Perl (prototype) script a year ago to make the process of "updating" pool vms a little bit easier. What this script does (should do) is: - stop all vms which belong to this pool - detach vms from pool - delete vms - delete pool - delete template - create new template from master vm - create new pool - add users/groups to pool All these tasks are possible with the Python/JAVA SDKs and ovirt-shell, too. Just make sure no other vms/pools uses this template with thin provisioned allocation policy. And don't forget error handling... Regards, René
