Hi Itamar, Thanks for the update....Yes.. i want to create different size VM with the same OS template...
------------ 3. we support "disk resize" since 3.4 (iirc), which you can do post VM provisioning. considering #3, then #1 should be easy to support as well these days. please open an RFE. ------------ Could you please more elaborate point number 3...how to use it..i will go with this one ...
