3.1. Creating New Virtual Machines from Templates
Templates for virtual machines are available from the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager administration portal or from the Extended User Portal under the Templates tab. You can use templates to rapidly deploy customized and pre-installed virtual machines complete with virtual disks, network interfaces, operating systems and applications.
Use the following procedure to create a new server virtual machine or a new desktop virtual machine. The only difference is that high availability cannot be configured for desktop virtual machines.
You now know how to create new virtual machines based on existing templates. However, the Power User Portal also allows further flexibility and granularity in creating virtual machines with customized properties. For instance, you can configure virtual machines to be highly available, define the default display protocol, add storage and networks. See the next chapter for details.
