I have already created templates for cloud users but that does not allow them, as far as I can see, to make persistent images. In any event, the freedom to mix and match CPU/Memory/network settings to various images is lost.<br>

Also, without the ability to create templates I cannot see how they can create a datablock and install their own images from CD. I can enable templates in the cloud view but as they are not controlled by quota I'm worried about not being able to access our sysadmin templates among an unbounded clutter of user templates. If the user templates could be stored somewhere else or hidden from view that might solve the problem.<br>

Using the CLI is not really an option as I had intended to make the self-service available to undergraduate students. In my experience, even researchers who had previous cloud experience found the OCCI interface unintuitive at first. However, once they got the hang of it, it proved very flexible.<br>
<br>
It seems strange to release a new version of software and cripple functionality that was previously available (Microsoft's Windows 8 come to mind!). Can OCCI 4.2 be built from source with the UI included or the version of OCCI shipped with 3.8 pointed at OpenNebula 4.2?<br>
<br>
My intention was to deploy 4.2 for student use this week. If I can't provide the functionality of OCCI 3.8 I will have to abandon 4.2, which seems a shame.<br>

Hi Gerry,<br>
<br>
As you said the old OCCI-based self-service is deprecated and the ui was<br>
removed from the code. You should be able to use it from the CLI, but it<br>
will be also removed sooner or later.<br>
<br>
The current cloud view [1], that was implemented to replace the old<br>
self-service, allows you to select a template and na image and launch a new<br>
instance without creating new templates. The only part missing for you use<br>
case is the network, so maybe we can add this option for upcoming releases,<br>
please open a feature request in our dev page so we can consider it.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile you could use the cloud view and create templates that already<br>
define the network (i.e.: small_and_private_net, small_and_public_net,<br>
large_and_private_net ...)<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
The reason why I've asked the question below is because I get the<br>
error message below when I try to run the occi-server. I've read in the<br>
posts that it is depreciated but I'm confused as there is documentation<br></div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm trying to emulate the ease-of-use of OCCI self-service in<br>
OpenNebula 4.2.0 Sunstone using views. In particular, I liked the idea of<br>
the drop-down list of predefined templates where machines could be<br>
provisioned by adding an image and a network. It seems the only way to<br>
emulate this is to allow cloud users to be able to create templates. While<br>
I appreciate the flexibility of Sunstone views I'm concerned that if cloud<br>
users can create templates then there is a danger that the site will be<br>
littered with templates. If the templates could be placed in another<br>
location that would be great. Is there any way around this or am I missing<br>
something? Somehow, the OCCI self-service was able to hide these templates<br>
that it created on the fly.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Gerry<br>
