To specify that you want to clone the disks (the default is to not clone
them) you need an additional "disks" parameter with the "clone=True"
attribute:

  api.vms.add(
    params.VM(
      vmname=VMNAME,
      memory=MEM*GB,
      cluster=...,
      template=...,
      description=...,
      disks=params.Disks(
        clone=True
      )
    )
  )
