Fixed In Version: 5.10.0.14
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: We did not pass a "clone" parameter when provisioning a VM from a template. Consequence: All vms were provisioned as dependent Fix: From now on we pass clone => true when the user selects "preallocated" storage, and clone => false when "thin" or "default" is selected. Result: When the user selects the "preallocated" storage type the VM will be provisioned as "clone/independent". It will be provisioned as "dependent" otherwise. Please note this is not as granular selection as on RHV, but it simplifies the choice for the client.

Description Felix Dewaleyne 2018-07-06 11:28:51 UTC
Description of problem:
provisions made against a rhev template are always thin / dependant and never clone/independant, a change in behaviour from 5.8 that generates a lot of extra work as converting the vm requires exporting and importing it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cfme 5.9.2
rhev 4.1.2

How reproducible:
all the time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a catalog item that will provision a rhel 7 template. there should be no snapshots.
2. make sure you have set the provision to be "native clone" and under hardware do   a full copy of the storage, not thin
3. send the provision.

Actual results:
the resulting vm in the provider shows  under "template" the info "thin/dependant"

Expected results:
the resulting vm in the provider shows under "template" the info "clone/independant" 

Additional info:
- rhev 4.1
- behaviour introduced in 5.9
- documentation suggest this should be a full clone not a native clone as no snapshots are presents.
- a service provision is used for the request

Comment 4 Greg McCullough 2018-07-06 13:18:13 UTC
Please provide logs from that show the provision task it would be best if it includes "Clone Options:" and "Prov Options:" logging.

There are flags in provisioning that control if it is a "linked_clone"
https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq-providers-ovirt/blob/master/app/models/manageiq/providers/redhat/infra_manager/provision/cloning.rb#L41

and the disk_type:
https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq-providers-ovirt/blob/master/app/models/manageiq/providers/redhat/infra_manager/provision/cloning.rb#L61

Comment 10 Greg McCullough 2018-07-25 12:13:43 UTC
In the evm.log we log the parameters being passed to the provider using the header "Clone Options:" so I would suggest looking of that in the logs.

The code that runs that is here:
https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq-providers-ovirt/blob/master/app/models/manageiq/providers/redhat/infra_manager/provision/cloning.rb#L77


Then the same parameters are sent to the ovirt service a few lines down on line 84.

https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq-providers-ovirt/blob/master/app/models/manageiq/providers/redhat/infra_manager/provision/cloning.rb#L84


There should be useful details in the rhevm.log on the appliance as well.  The logging level for this file can be adjusted in the Advanced settings, the default value is "info".  Depending on the level of output (I am not that familiar with it) you may need to specify "debug" here, but I would suggest trying with info first and changing if needed.

Snippet for the Advanced settings of the UI:

:log:
  :level_rhevm: info

Comment 18 Martin Perina 2018-08-16 13:17:40 UTC
We have found out that this is UI only issue, because reporting of disk being thin or preallocated is based on sparseness feature instead of disk format (RHV webadmin has the same issue tracked in BZ1615287). So if you create a VM template with preallocated disk and then create VM from this template, VM's disk will be preallocated even though it's being reported as thin, because the reporting is bad.

Because of that reducing severity to medium and targeting 5.9.5 (because customer ticket is attached).

    Fix disk_type attribute

    We were calculating the disk_type based on the sparse property of the
    disk. This is incorrect, it should actually be calculated based on the
    format property.

    Fix setting storage attributes during vm provision

    We did not pass the sparse and storage_domain parameters when
    provisioning a VM using version 4 of the sdk.
