Hi Ruben,
I guess I was still not able to express the use case correctly.
- I want to have a template, registered within onetemplate, that generates machines with persistent disks, cloned from a master disk- The only action I want to do to create the virtual machines is to run onetemplate instantiate- OpenNebula would clone the "source" disk, add it to the machine template and instantiate the machine when I run onetemplate instantiate.
So far, I can only do this with non-persistent disks, where OpenNebula clones the source disk into a volatile disk inside system ds.I want OpenNebula to clone the disk to the datastore and set it as persistent instead.
Is it possible?
Regards,Ricardo

OK, I think you can use onevm saveas for this:

Hi,

I will try to explain what I am trying to do:

- Say I have a template that uses image id 10, that is not persistent.
- Every time a user creates a new image with this template, I want the image id 10 to be cloned into a new persistent image, that is then allocated to the instance



Currently, when I instantiate a template with a non-persistent image, the image is cloned to a volatile disk on system DS.
To create a persistent instance, I need to manually clone the image, then make the clone persistent, then create a new template that points to it.



Thanks,
Ricardo

Hi Ricardo,


We are missing something here,  I think that a persistent image is what you are looking for [1]. If not could you elaborate a bit what are you missing?

Hi there,

I'm trying to make all my virtual machines persistent.
So, I would like disks for vms instantiated from templates to be created as persistent clones, instead of volatile disks on system DS.




Is there a way to do it?

Thanks,
Ricardo
