But creating a Centos9 VM works...

[rbo]

Let's check the source of the centos vm:

% oc get dv -n rbohne-demo centos-stream9-cyan-goat-34 -o jsonpath="{.spec.source}"| jq
{
  "snapshot": {
    "name": "centos-stream9-016145bc9406",
    "namespace": "openshift-virtualization-os-images"
  }
}

🤔 Looks like tere still seom snapshots:

Let's check the template:

oc get templates -n openshift centos-stream9-server-tiny -o yaml

=> It referece to an datasource

 oc get datasource -n openshift-virtualization-os-images centos-stream9 -o yaml

=> Reference to the snapshot!

At the end, all works.

I asked in internal Slack for details if the behavior changed or so: https://redhat-internal.slack.com/archives/C068X44C8VB/p1768903406388579
