Ok, If you just assign an image located anywhere on disk to a VM, then OpenNebula does not know, that this is a persistent image. But it is also strange, because when you start an VM with an image located eg. in /scratch/, then this will be copied to VM_DIR and the VM will be started with the copy there.

For the images repository you do not need much, just a folder which is also on the shared storage (like VM_DIR) and available also on the cluster nodes. Create a template and then use the 'oneimage register /path/to/template'. Then in the VM template modify the DISK entry like this:

DISK   = [ IMAGE = "<name_of_image>" ]
