== About VM templates
|
|
|
|
You can use VM templates to help you easily create VMs.
|
|
|
|
Expedite creation with boot sources::
|
|
You can expedite VM creation by using templates that have an available boot source. Templates with a boot source are labeled *Available boot source* if they do not have a custom label.
|
|
+
|
|
Templates without a boot source are labeled *Boot source required*. See xref:../../virt/storage/virt-automatic-bootsource-updates.adoc#virt-automatic-bootsource-updates[Managing automatic boot source updates] for details.
|
|
|
|
Customize before starting the VM::
|
|
You can customize the disk source and VM parameters before you start the VM.
|

[NOTE]
|
|
====
|
|
If you copy a VM template with all its labels and annotations, your version of the template is marked as deprecated when a new version of the Scheduling, Scale, and Performance (SSP) Operator is deployed. You can remove this designation. See xref:../../virt/creating_vm/virt-creating-vms-from-templates.adoc#virt-customizing-vm-template-web_virt-creating-vms-from-templates[Removing a deprecated designation from a customized VM template by using the web console].
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
{sno-caps}::
|
|
Due to differences in storage behavior, some templates are incompatible with {sno}. To ensure compatibility, do not set the `evictionStrategy` field for templates or VMs that use data volumes or storage profiles.
