Sadly for API Cloning, I found this in
/usr/lib64/xen-3.2-1/lib/python/xen/xend/XendAPI.py


   def VM_clone(self, session, vm_ref):
        return xen_api_error(XEND_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED)

So, It seems impossible to use cloning via API. But I'll work on a
interface which allows creation of templates. I just need time to do
that, but so far, I'm on full time in this project !


Regards,


Olivier.
