Re: [Users] Virtual Machine Provisiong

hmmm If it needs to be really unattended you either have to attach the right disk with install ISO and supply(point to) the desired kickstart? You'd need to have a template only per each OS install iso. Yes exactly. And the "iso" file could be a net address (for example directly on the centos servers). And you could have more than one kickstart per iso (that is the list proposed to the oVirt user):\

Centos6 64 bit 10GB disk lvm no selinux Centos6 64 bit All avaiable disk space Centos6 64 bit with puppet and mcollective ....

And then deploy the template and do minor customizations (e.g. hostname change).
