GUI Edit template General information

Field	Value
Name	A short name to identify the VM template. This will be the default name of a VM created from this template.
Description	A description of the services and applications installed on the VM template
Category	Logical grouping of VM templates to enable you to organize them
Icon	If you do not assign an icon, the platform will assign a default icon from the theme, which it will also assign to the VMs. If the Operating System is set on the Advanced tab, the platform may also display the icon for a specific OS type or a generic OS type. Enter the URL for the template's icon. This must be a URL with a public IP address, not localhost or 127.0.0.1. It may contain the IP address of the API server. Square icon images with a size of 128x128 pixels and a transparent background look best. The compatible image formats are PNG, JPG, and GIF. If an administrator shares the template with other tenants, then this icon will display for all the users in these tenants. If you change the icon of a template with instances, when you create the next instance, it will have the new icon If you remove a custom icon, the platform will then display the default icon for the VMs

When you are not using hardware profiles, you can set values for template CPU and RAM as follows

Field	Value
CPU	When you create a VM from the template, it will have this template CPU value
RAM	When you create a VM from the template, it will have this RAM memory size
RAM units	MB or GB
Min CPU and Min RAM	In private cloud, the minimum value of CPU or RAM. If 0 or empty, then there is no constraint. You cannot set a minimum below the current template value. Changes apply to new VMs, not existing VMs
Max CPU and Max RAM	In private cloud, maximum value of CPU or RAM. If 0 or empty, then there is no constraint. Changes apply to new VMs, not existing VMs
Cores per socket	The number of cores per socket. The number of CPUs must be divisible by the number of cores per socket. The maximum value is 32

Troubleshooting minimum and maximum CPU and RAM values

The platform stores 0 as an empty value, so if you enter "0", it will disappear!
If users edit existing VMs that already had out-of-range values, the platform displays a warning but does not enforce the range.
Changes can affect recommended hardware profiles on the Advanced tab, so you may need to review them
Users with the Override VM constraints privilege can enter values outside this range
