<title>Creating a Bare Metal Template</title>
<note><para><emphasis role="bold">Beta feature. Untested in CloudPlatform 3.0.3. Provided without guarantee of performance</emphasis>.</para></note>
<para>Before you can create a bare metal template, you must have performed several other installation and setup steps to create a bare metal cluster and environment. See Bare Metal Installation in the Installation Guide. It is assumed you already have a directory named "win7_64bit" on your CIFS server, containing the image for the bare metal instance. This directory and image are set up as part of the Bare Metal Installation procedure.</para>
