Hi Erik, The ceph itself does not have a concept of templates as such, so it would be hard to create the templates outside of cloudstack. I think the only requirement of ceph here would be the ability to create a volume (which it can do successfully already as I am able to create new vm instances) and create a clone from volume, which would be how I imagine ACS would do it when creating a new instance from a template.
These things are working fine as I can see from being able to create system vms. So, from what it seems, something must be broken when ACS tries to create a template. I will try to do more digging to verify this issue. Could someone one please confirm that they are able to create templates from volumes and snapshots on ACS and Ceph?

Could quite possibly be something wrong with ceph, considering you had issues with VRs as well. -- Erik On Thu, Oct 22, 2015 at 10:26 AM, Andrei Mikhailovsky <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello guys, > > Was wondering if this is a known issue that is being addressed? > > I've got ACS 4.5.2 with KVM and Ceph rbd.
