[one-users] 'onevm saveas' via XMLRPC or OCCI???

[Carlos Martín Sánchez]

Hi Marco,

The XML-RPC call requests an image id because the image has to be created
beforehand.
You can check how it is done in the oneimage command (it's a straight
forward ruby script), and then replicate the same steps in your code.

Regards,
Carlos.
