Reserved

Initial status. Disk is not usable yet.

Active

Disk has been created as requested. It can now be used.

Deleted

Disk is deleted after creating it from external image fails for some reason. This disk is not usable anymore.


3. Create VM from available custom Image

...

Otherwise if VM boot fails during VM create, the VM and its disk will be deleted and there would be no way of knowing why it failed. Also, because the disk is deleted, it cannot be used to create a new VM, the image would have to be imported again.

Steps in UI

  1. Refresh the Compute list

  2. Start VM created from custom image

  3. Check the boot process in the Virtual Console tab

Issues with the current pipeline

  1. qemu-guest-agent has to be installed for the setup

    1. If guest agent does not answer in 10 minutes, then boot fails and VM is stopped

  2. In Create VM stage, the size of the disk cannot be changed/altered any more

  3. Importing images that are bigger than ~35 GB will probably fail
