[one-users] How to use wget to get source image during VM creation

[Javier Fontan]

To do this you can create a new datastore or modify the one that
already exists. You can take a look at fs datastore that is located at
/var/lib/remotes/datastore/fs. This directory holds the scripts that
manage the fs datastore. For example, the clone script takes the
source path (or url) and stores it in the destination (path generated
by OpenNebula). After the copy is done it prints the path of the new
image. Here you can create a new file ($DST) that contains the url of
the image and then in the tm read back the url to download it.

Another way could be exporting a datastore by http and changing tm's
to wget instead of cp/scp from a base directory. TM's are located at
/var/lib/one/remotes/tm.

These are just ideas and they are maybe a bit cumbersome.
