Template Commands
Commands for working with VM templates.
Templates are essentially VMs with the
is-a-template
parameter set to
true
. A template is a "gold image"
that contains all the various configuration settings to instantiate a specific VM. XenServer ships with a base set
of templates, which are generic "raw" VMs that can boot an OS vendor installation CD (e.g. RHEL, CentOS, SLES,
Windows). With XenServer you can create VMs, configure them in standard forms for your particular needs, and
save a copy of them as templates for future use in VM deployment.

The template objects can be listed with the standard object listing command (xe template-list), and the
parameters manipulated with the standard parameter commands. See
parameters manipulated with the standard parameter commands. See
