Fixing vm after creation: 1. Open the vm > network intefaces tab, select the nic and click edit 2. Set the nic profile to ovirtmgmt That actually does not sound like a bug to me. If a VM is created from a template, then that VM should have a network configuration similar to that template. So when creating from Blank, which doesn't have any profiles attached to VNICs, I would expect the resulting VM to not have any profiles attached to VNICs unless the user explicitly attached one. In fact, Bug 1003779 states that it's a bug that there was even a VNIC to begin with, since Blank doesn't have any VNICs. closing this bug, the fixed behaviour is that the VM would keep the same network configuration as the template, for more information look in bug 1009298 and in bug 1003799. Note: From the user point of view he wants to create a new instance (an instance from scratch), the fact that the user needs to choose a blank template is an implementation detailed we exposed to the user. Most likely a new instance would need a VNIC, a user friendly behaviour in this case would be to propose a VNIC with a network. The challenge in this case is to choose which default network to propose. We need to allocate a network which is a VM network, with profile and with a user permissions on that profile. Given this challenge and given that we don't have a good suggestion how to solve this we'll keep current behaviour until we get a good suggestion on which network should be chosen. |
