Re: Some questions about vm template
Frank, The system VM template is for system VMs only. Please revert your DB changes and allow it to be used to automatically create the SSVM CPVM VMs. Once the SSVM has been created it will connect to Secondary Storage and will then report back the size of the template. It will then download the default CentOS template which you can use to create user VMs. Regards Geoff Higginbottom CTO / Cloud Architect D: +44 20 3603 0542tel:+442036030542 | S: +44 20 3603 0540tel:+442036030540| M: +447968161581tel:+447968161581 geoff.higginbot...@shapeblue.commailto:geoff.higginbot...@shapeblue.com |www.shapeblue.com | Twitter:@shapebluehttps://twitter.com/#!/shapeblue ShapeBlue Ltd, 53 Chandos Place, Covent Garden, London, WC2N 4HS On 15 Nov 2013, at 08:17, Du Jun dj199...@gmail.commailto:dj199...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, I have some questions: 1)How can I use system template to start up my instance?I have update database cloud.vm_template and set fields: public=1 exactable=1 type='USER' However,it doesn't work.The message box says:Can't use system template to create instance!So,how can I solve it? 2)After my template downloaded completely,it's very strange that the size field is empty as UI shows,just like that: HypervisorLXCTypeUSERReadyYesStatusDownload CompleteSizeExtractableYes So,is there anyone can help me solve my problems?Thanks in advanced! -- Best regards, Frank This email and any attachments to it may be confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
