<title>Creating VMs</title>
|
|
<para>Virtual machines are usually created from a template. Users can also create blank virtual
|
|
machines. A blank virtual machine is a virtual machine without an OS template. Users can attach
|
|
an ISO file and install the OS from the CD/DVD-ROM.</para>
|
|
<note>
|
|
<para>You can create a VM without starting it. You can determine whether the VM needs to be
|
|
started as part of the VM deployment. A request parameter, startVM, in the deployVm API
|
|
provides this feature. For more information, see the Developer's Guide</para>
