+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1124077 +++ You can now specify 'instance' types when you create virtual machines. An instance is a method of defining common hardware attributes for a set of virtual machines. This bug will be slightly involved but not technically difficult. It will require adding a new set of topics detailing the 'Instance Types' menu in the 'Configure' menu in the Administration Portal, and adding a description of the 'Instance' drop-down menu that is available in the 'New Virtual Machine' and 'Edit Virtual Machine' windows. This same drop-down menu will also likely appear in template and virtual machine windows, so must be described there as well. oVirt feature page: http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Instance_Types PRD Bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=874328 --- Additional comment from Tahlia Richardson on 2014-08-26 21:44:30 EDT --- [7476] Updated New VM Window screenshot (Admin and User) [10394] Added Instance Type row to the General Settings table (Admin and User) Cloning for the User guide (work complete). More work still required for the Admin guide.
Awaiting rebuild.
