<br>
I want to use OpenNebula for dynamic instantiation of virtual machines<br>
by interfacing OCCI.<br>
Unfortunately I'm facing some problems with the occi template definition<br>
syntax.<br>
Can you please help with the "Wrong type!" error?<br>

the problem:<br>
************<br>
$ occi-compute create occiTemplate.xml<br>
Wrong type!<br>
<br>

--> "Wrong type!" is the response of the OCCIServer. 'occi-compute'<br>
works fine.<br>
