Description Tomas Dosek 2014-09-11 05:18:13 EDT

Description of problem:

After upgrade of environment from previous versions customers are not allowed to change template versioning policy for the existing pools.

The constraint is rather in UI than on other levels as the change is rather trivial and manually takes only single DB query (update of template_version_number entry in vm_static table).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.4.2

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create template with Base template version
2. Try to edit it to the latest version

Actual results:
It cannot be edited

Expected results:
It should be editable

Comment 10 Max Kovgan 2015-06-28 10:12:44 EDT

ovirt-3.6.0-3 release

Comment 14 sefi litmanovich 2016-01-11 08:31:35 EST

Verified with rhevm-3.6.2-0.1.el6.noarch.

After creating a vm pool from template with 5 version (choose version 1 at first), changing the version is possible via ui to each of the 5 version + to the latest pointer.
Each change between version will invoke vms deletion and re creation from the new chosen version as expected.

Please notice that there is a regression on the latest pointer as can be seen in this bz:  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1294511.

Might be caused by this patch?
