Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
When creating a virtual machine from a template, the user is able to choose the format of the disks: either RAW or QCOW2. The Allocation Policy section is now hidden. If the Template Provisioning is Thin, the format of the disks will be marked as QCOW2 and the user won't be able to change it. If the Template Provisioning is Clone, the user will be able to select either QCOW2 or RAW.

Description Yaniv Lavi 2016-03-14 09:47:04 UTC 
Add support for qcow2 disks, adding the ability to choose qcow2 disk format when creating a VM from template. This is needed to provide more control over the format used to create the VM.
