[one-users] are variables inside the vm template possible?

[Michael Fairchild]

Hello,
   I think modifying the imm_kvm driver to get the information will  
probably work best.  Using the VMID as default could get very large,  
and potentially conflict with existing open connections.
   Thanks,
~Michael
