Yes, that's what I meant. As the documentation says, SOURCE is a restricted attribute and by default will only be allowed to be used by users in the oneadmin group, this can be changed in oned.conf<div><br></div><div>By the way, you are linking to the documentation for version 3.4, if you installed the latest OpenNebula you have 3.8.</div>

</div>Do you mean writing an Image Definition [1] with SOURCE pointing to<br>
the absolute path to my VM, then register it with oneimage and using<br>
it's ID in the VM template?<br>
<br>
I'll give that a try, if my HDD doesn't start spinning then I'm ok with it : )<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
