Am running my Opennebula instance on a server I own. I has pulled a lot of marketplace image templates, and the vms deploy very fast for these images. But when I try to create my own template, with a custom kali qcow2 image of 30 GiB. It is too slow, it takes about 4 minutes for a machine to spawn. And takes quite a lot of time (>30 minutes) for multiple users(30-40) to instantiate a non-persistent VM at the same time. I’m using a NAS storage for storing the data. If the marketplace image templates spawn so quick, why dont my template faster enough? Can someone help me out?
Hi @samuel1 
Could you share the Image template? I think the output of the oneimage show -x <image_id> command would be great.
And if you can show us the logs of a VM deployed with that image it would be awesome too 
, so we can see the time consumed by the VM to be deployed (You can find this log file inside the /var/log/one/<vm_id>.log folder.
Best,
Victor
