In case you aren´t aware, oVirt actually does that for a very good reason. This way you can create _1_ template, then create _1000_ VM's, and they´ll only take up the space of that single template, and then build up on the changes that are "new" for each VM. If you want to be able to still delete a template, I suggest you choose to provision new VM's "cloned" from that template, instead of "thin". You can however just rename it to something else like "deprecated_template01" and leave it like that. Otherwise your only option is to create a new disk for that VM, start it up from a Live-CD and "dd" the operating disk over onto the new, then delete the old disk, perhaps rename the new disk from "_Disk2" to "_Disk1" instead and remember to mark it "Bootable". Repeat this process for every VM that is thin provisioned from this template and then you can finally delete the template. -- Med Vänliga Hälsningar ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Karli Sjöberg Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences Box 7079 (Visiting Address Kronåsvägen 8) S-750 07 Uppsala, Sweden Phone: +46-(0)18-67 15 66 karli.sjob...@slu.se _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
