#12 Cloning feature

[Antonio Mauriello]

This is a part of thesis project of Antonio Mauriello, student at Universita' degli Studi di Napoli Federico II (Napoli, Italy).
Thanks to Jd, ConVirt's developer, for his support!

With this feature you can save an installed guest Vm (from local o remote node) to Image Store.
The saved Vm is ready, in this way, to be provisioned as new guest Vm in whatever node. The difference between this saved image and classical conVirt image existent in Image Store is that the cloned one in an installed Vm ready to use without needlessly new installation (ie. from cd or ftp).

--USAGE:
You just have to click with right mouse button on a stopped Vm and choose "Save Vm as image..." type a name and it will saved in Image Store.
Now you can create a new provisionend guest Vm choosing in Provisioning Vm dialog, in Image Name form, the previous saved image.
Wait some minutes and a new guest Vm it will be provisioned.
