You could first register a persistent image, then create a 
persistent VM, run it and do your installation/updates. Then run 
'onevm shutdown <vm_id>'. Now you could create an other VM using 
the same registered image (makes probably not much sense), or copy 
the image away from your image folder, create a new template and 
register the copied image with a new name. Then create a new 
persistent VM which will use the new image.

Probably as described above. But to "clone" a running image, the 
'onevm saveas <vm_id> <disk_id> <image_name>' command and then 
'onevm shutdown <vm_id>' (as in your link described the VM and the 
OS running in the VM needs to support ACPI) are probably easier to 
use and you do not need to manually copy around the image.
