<br><br>I'm trying to deploy a VM on hold, but I get the message "[VirtualMachineDeploy] Wrong state to perform action".<br>Currently, I'm only being able to deploy pending VMs. I don't have a RANK policy because I just want the manual deployment.<br>
<br>I'm also a bit confused because the documentation refers to this diagram: <a href="http://opennebula.org/_detail/documentation:rel3.0:states-complete.png">http://opennebula.org/_detail/documentation:rel3.0:states-complete.png</a><br>
It does not show that it is possible to deploy from Hold.<br><br>There is only a group of VMs that I don't want to be scheduled, so I'm using the same template for them. If I don't hold them, will the scheduler try to deploy?<br>
