Hi All,
In light of the fact that there are no templates for KVM (see: http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/1105-Qemu-KVM-Templates) I was wondering what if any best practices exist for provisioning cookie cutter KVM VMs.
Is it possible to create a KVM VM, vzdump it, create a new KVM VM container (but don't install an OS) and qmrestore the "template" KVM to the new container? i.e.
qmrestore vzdump-qemu-101.tgz 102
How do people go about this in the KVM paradigm? I went with KVM because I run a Java webapp (Tomcat) and I have read that Java/OpenVZ can be problematic.
I guess you'd have to boot into single user mode and change the ifcfg-eth0 script, etc. Anyone been down this path?
TIA
Cheers
