Does Storpool have a native driver for Xenserver?
If not and you use iSCSI then bad luck, Xenserver uses LVM for iSCSI storage pools and thin provisioning is NOT SUPPORTED there, so you are thick/full provisioning all your machines.. 50 machines x 100GB (I imagine) is a lot of storage traffic.

Do you have to run this operation often?

Subject: Re: creating multiple VM's from template

Hi Gary,

Are you sure that is not related to your storage performance? In my
case, Windows takes much longer to deploy than Linux, because of the
template size even with SSD/Nvme performance.

Hi all



ACS 4.15.2

KVM hypervisor on Ubuntu 20.04



We use Ansible to create 50 Windows VM’s from a template to spin
up a
large Citrix estate. It currently takes around 2 hours for the
entire
process to complete.

Are there any settings in ACS that we can tweak to speed up the
process ?
