15 Minute Timeout for Deploying from Template?

[lucheman]

Where is the setting for the timeout period for deploying from template? It seems to be set at 15 min. Can I find it somewhere under ESXBOX>Configuration>Advanced and change it to a higher value?

Unless your VM is huge or you have slow hardware, I'm thinking it usually doesn't take that long ( post 15 minutes) to deploy a template.

Might want to read that link and see if that resolves the issue you are having.

Or am I wrong and you just have a 100GB SQL Template to deploy 😃 ( I've seen stranger!)

Asking the same question multiple times isn't nice.

Good lord, didn't bother to look at the post history...

Lucheman, please only post your questions one time. I've removed your other two postings that were duplicates of this question.

Hello,

I can tell you the default is not 15 minutes. On a couple of occasions I have rolled around 10 templates concurrently and in those cases my deploy times have been about 45 minutes. Typically my 10GB virtual machines take 10 minutes or less.
