Bug: Deploying virtual machine template which has had virtual floppy disabled

[cammj]

A bug when deploying a virtual machine, which has been created with a virtual floppy disk file, but since edited and disabled the virtual floppy disk and removed the file configuration.

It appears removing the virtual device from the template fixes this issue

The result is in screenshots in the attachments. Picture 1: Template config, Picture 3: The error

Hi.

Sorry but i'm not sure that quite understood the test case. Could you please specify it step by step and show which system behavior is wrong and what it should be.

With best regards,
Alexander

Sandro,

In terms of priority this would be quite low.. It seems to be more of a cosmetic issue.

The steps required to reproduce:
1. Create a virtual machine, and assign a virtual floppy disk to it
2. Create a template from this virtual machine
3. Remove the virtual floppy disk file
4. Deploy the template to another virtual machine
5. Disable the virtual floppy on the deployed machine

From here, you cant actually start the deployed virtual machine because it cant find the virtual floppy file (even though you disabled the floppy).

Hello, cammj !

Server doesn't allow to deploy VM from invalid template.
You should repair vm-template:
A) recreate Fdd
* editVmConfiguration->Fdd
* type 'my-super-floppy.fdd' in File field.
* press Recreate
* press Ok.
look at attachment for details.

B) Also You can remove Fdd from configuration.
