| =head1 NAME | ||||
|  | ||||
| B<clonevm> - Create masters from virtual machines and virtual machines from masters. | ||||
|  | ||||
| =head1 SYNOPSIS | ||||
|  | ||||
| I<clonevm noderange [ -t <mastertobemade> | -b <master to base vms upon> ]  -d|--detached -f|--force> | ||||
|  | ||||
| =head1 DESCRIPTION | ||||
|  | ||||
| Command to promote a VM's current configuration and storage to a master as well as  | ||||
| performing the converse operation of creating VMs based on a master. | ||||
|  | ||||
| By default, attempting to create a master from a running VM will produce an error.  | ||||
| The force argument will request that a master be made of the VM anyway. | ||||
|  | ||||
| Also, by default a VM that is used to create a master will be rebased as a thin  | ||||
| clone of that master. If the force argument is used to create a master of a powered | ||||
| on vm, this will not be done.  Additionally, the detached option can be used to  | ||||
| explicitly request that a clone not be tethered to a master image, allowing the  | ||||
| clones to not be tied to the health of a master, at the cost of additional storage. | ||||
|  | ||||
| When promoting a VM's current state to master, all rleated virtual disks will be  | ||||
| copied and merged with any prerequisite images.  A master will not be tethered to | ||||
| other masters. | ||||

| B<-t>              The target master to copy a single VM's state to | ||||
|  | ||||
| B<-d>              Explicitly request that the noderange be untethered from any masters. | ||||
|  | ||||
