Deploying VM

{{ $t('productDocDetail.updateTime') }}: 2026-01-05

Description

Through Deploy VM from template, you can create a new virtual machine that depends on the original virtual machine template and is completely consistent with the original virtual machine. After the Deploy VM from template is performed on the virtual machine, the image of the virtual machine will be used as the base image and automatically converted to the VM template. At this time, the VM template cannot be powered on or deleted. The template can be deleted only after all the virtual machines deployed by the VM template are deleted.

Precautions

  1. After deploying VM from the template, the VM template cannot be powered on or deleted. The template can be deleted only after all the virtual machines deployed by the VM template are deleted.
  2. The template deployed by the virtual machine cannot be converted to another template.
  3. Virtual machines with specific attributes cannot be used as VM templates, such as multiple disks. CDP policy is configured.
  4. Deleting templates and derived virtual machines to the recycle bin and restoring derived Virtual Opportunities from the recycle bin failed.
  5. Cross-storage live migration will change the derived virtual machine's properties, and the virtual machine will become an ordinary virtual machine.
