[one-users] Register VM for ESX 4.1

[Tino Vazquez]

Hi Jonathan,

The way to use the image catalog is to upload individual images, each
of them requiring an image template [1].

One registered, a VM can use an image by just referencing the image's
name (same as the VirtualNetwork from your template, using just the
name "VMWareNET").

Regards,

-Tino
