Description David Jaša 2013-11-01 17:02:05 UTC

Description of problem:
Creatin a thin-provisioned new VM from template takes ~20 minutes when "Optimize for" is set to Server (Desktop is instant)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
is20.2

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. have a template with thin-provisioned disk with few GB Actual Size
2. create a "Optimized for: Desktop" VM, make sure that "Thin Provision" is in resource allocation
3. create a "Optimized for: Server" VM, make sure that "Thin Provision" is in resource allocation

Actual results:
2. action takes few seconds
3. action takes dozens of minutes

Expected results:
action is almost instant in both cases

Additional info:
going through SPM logs, this catched my eye - compare Optimized for Desktop:

vs. optimize for server:

(I may have mixed the two up - but why is the difference there in the first place?)

Hm, the base of the bug is PEBKAC on my side, I completely overlooked the "Template provisioning" radiobuttons in the new layout. When set to Thin, everything works as expected.
