Hi,

Another strange thing that I notice is every now and then I have to use
777(i am using 777 since begining ) on /var/lib/one .... when creating new
vms other wise they are failing with permission denied error.Once I give 777
I am able to deploy more than 1 vm for a stretch, but later at some point I
have redo this step to resolve  permission denied error .


Also one more query. I have registered image (appliance). I want to deploy
for example 10 vms based on the appliance with single command. How can i do
so.

Regards,
kinglabs
