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?
Comment 5 mrao 2014-01-31 16:48:12 UTC 
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
