Created attachment 750024 [details] logs Description of problem: we can remove a template from the export domain without any warning even when the template has depended vms. if the template was removed from setup as well, we will not be able to use the vm anymore. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sf17 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. export a vm created from template with its template to the export domain 2. remove the template 3. Actual results: we are able to remove the template with no warnings Expected results: we should have a warning since if the vm's template will also be removed in the setup the vm will no longer be usable. Additional info: logs
The existence of the template in the system has nothing to do with it. We can also move the export domain between setups. The feature is that you can export and import VMs and templates. I can export the template, import into another setup and then remove the template. I can export a VM without exporting the template to begin with so the VM is useless if I don't have a backup of it.

Yes, you explained it well to begin with and as mentioned above, you can export a VM without its template (without warning and none will be added there either) and then delete the template from the storage domain. If you don't have that template anywhere else then your exported VM is useless in exactly the same way. The simple fact is that it is totally valid by design to have incomplete VMs on the template domain. That is the feature since we treat the export domain as a transfer station, not as a container of entire VMs > i don't see comment 1 as a reason for closed wontfix. > reopening.
