Description of problem:
Duplicating configs on VMs is so tedious that some create a custom script to do this.

Comment 2 Itamar Heim 2013-09-26 14:38:16 UTC
malini - are they copying only the VM config, not disks? can we get the script to understand better the flow?
would creating a diskless template which is "just the vm config" solve their problem?

Comment 3 Andrew Cathrow 2013-10-01 14:05:12 UTC
or are we just talking about doing a direct clone?

Will try to dig up contact info for this customer and ask them your questions and then add the info to the bug.

Comment 7 Michal Skrivanek 2014-07-24 12:04:36 UTC
we have a "Clone VM from VM" feature in 3.5 which should help
