Template for persistent VMs

I think you want to reply to this thread Shareable disk image between VMs ?

Because what we want is a simple workflow, to create a new VM from an Template with a persistent disk.
The current Workflow for a new VM is:

  1. Clone the Template
  2. Create a new persistent image and attach it to the new Template.
  3. Instantiate a new VM from this Template.

This would be really annoying for us. We are now running an old VMware Installation with ~50 VMs. Every VM is based on an VMware Template but with different Settings, Services etc (a typical Snowflake Server). So in Opennebula we would need 50 different Templates.
