I think a basic example that goes from beginning to end would be very 
helpful. For example at

http://www.opennebula.org/documentation:rel3.2:evmwareg

says

   Afterwards, a image template needs to be written, using the vmware://
   prefix for the PATH. For example:

   NAME = MyVMwareDisk
   PATH = vmware:///absolute/path/to/disk/folder
   TYPE = OS

I don't now what this means. Which absolute path to disk is this ? On the 
VMWare server, on image server. How do I register it ?
