[Xen-API] making it easier to install VMs on XCP

[Dave Scott <Dave.Scott@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've been chatting to various people about ways of making it easier to install 
VMs (particularly Linux ones) on XCP. If you're a CLI user then it takes quite 
a few steps to (eg) set up a network install of a debian VM. I think we can 
make this a lot simpler; I've made some notes on the wiki:

http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Making_it_easier_to_install_VMs_on_XCP

It would be awesome if you could install a VM like this:

# xe vm-install template="Debian 6.0" new-name-label=debian auto-install=true
# xe vm-start vm=debian

And have sensible defaults (e.g. network URL, preseed file) used throughout.

Let me know what you think!

Cheers,
Dave
