Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Consequence: Previously when VM was created from Templates tab using "New VM" option and the template had disks and "optimized for" was set to "Desktop" in template and "optimized for" field was not touched in New VM dialog then the disks of newly created VM used "Clone" provisioning (even though "Thin" provisioning is appropriate for "Desktop" VMs). Fix: Result: Disks of newly created VMs always have provisioning based on "Optimized for" (Desktop/Server) field.

Log snippet

Description of problem:
When adding a new VM from the "Templates" tab, the UI shows "Optimized For" as "Desktop" but it is created as "Server".

If you select "server" and then "Desktop" again, it will be created as "Desktop".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.0.0

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to "Templates" tab, select a template
2. Click "New VM"
3. Add a name for the VM and click OK

Actual results:
The VM is created as "Server" (Clone/Independent)

Expected results:
The VM is created as "Desktop" (Thin/Dependent)

dupe of bug 1298231 (or the other way around)?
Comment 2 Tomas Jelinek 2016-02-22 14:44:26 UTC 
nope, this is a different issue - the 1298231 is a about the "new disks dialog" inside the VM dialog.

This bug is about the template disks provisioning. It happens only in the "new VM" created from the templates tab - it seems the template is not properly inited in this particular flow.
Comment 3 meital avital 2016-04-12 08:59:02 UTC 
Verified rhevm-3.6.5.1-0.1.el6

Verify steps:
1. Go to "Templates" tab, select a template
2. Click "New VM"
3. Add a name for the VM and click OK
4. The VM created as "Desktop"
