Hi Steven,<div><br></div><div>Thank you for your feedback, we will definitely take your suggestion into account.</div><div><br></div><div>For future releases, we are planning to develop a VM templates repository.</div><div>
The templates could be checked for frequent errors and missing mandatory attributes before being saved into the templates pool.</div><div><br></div><div>Because this feature is still in the design process, ideas and comments are more than welcome.</div>

I have had several virtual machine launches fail recently,<br>
some in failing to create the deployment file due to a missing<br>
bootloader option, others in failing to create the contextualization<br>
ISO because i had specified the inclusion of a file that wasn't there.<br>
In both cases OpenNebula does all the work of scp'ing over<br>
my fairly big OS image to the VM host before it checks these<br>
parameters.. why couldn't there be a syntax check which determines<br>
that the VM is doomed to fail before doing all the work of copying<br>
over the OS image?<br>
