Bug Reference

CLOUDSTACK-4757

Branch

Work is in progress in ova-multiple-disks branch

...

Today in CloudStack, we only support template creation based on OVA files that contain a single disk. If an Admin/User registers a template using OVA that contains more than 1 disk and launches an instance using this template, only the first disk is attached to the new instance and the rest of the disks are ignored. 

Purpose

Purpose of this document is to present functional specifications for improvements that are required to extent the current OVA support to include multiple disks.

...

• While listing all templates list only VM templates i.e. non Datadisk templates (VM templates will have bootable property set to true)
• Once the user has selected the VM template allow user to pick between disk offering or Datadisk template with the help of radio buttons (user can choose to select neither)
• If user chooses disk offering then rest of the work flow will remain the same as today
• If user chooses Datadisk template then list all the Datadisk templates that belong to the VM template chosen in the first step (templates that have parentTemplateId parameter set to that of VM template)

DB Schema changes

 New column parent_template_id will be added to table vm_template
