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

[Marco Strutz]

Hi.

Thanks Carlos! I have managed to reproduce the behaviour by xmlrpc calls.
But for the long term it would be very handy to access the "saveas"
feature in one single xmlrpc call too so that it won't be necessary to
duplicate (onevm ruby) source code and validate it for each new
Opennebula release.


regards
Marco
