Description Andrew Dahms 2014-07-28 23:42:36 UTC

This feature enhances support for creating copies of virtual machines by making it possible to create copies without creating a template first, and, it appears, without creating a snapshot, either.

This bug involves describing the function and behavior of the new 'Clone VM' button in the Administration Portal and User Portal, and altering existing mention of cloning virtual machines to remove any obsolete details about having to create a template or snapshort first.

Bug is complete, moving to POST for tech review. 

Hi Meital, can you please check the technical accuracy of the new section, Cloning a Virtual Machine, at: 
http://documentation-devel.engineering.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.5-Beta/html-single/Administration_Guide/index.html#sect-Cloning_Virtual_Machines

(Same topic is also in the User Guide at https://documentation-devel.engineering.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.5-Beta/html-single/User_Guide/index.html#sect-Cloning_Virtual_Machines)

Thanks!
Tahlia

Reviewed, Clone VM sections in Webadmin and User Portal guides are ok.
