I have run some tests and the problem about the ok button seems related
with the network section.
The dns server list is to be configured with spaces (as described also in
tooltip) and not with commas as I supposed.
But still sometimes it happens that I can not succesdfully press the OK
button.

The hostname, timezone and authentication parts are ok and are configured
correctly inside the guest.
BTW:The original CentOS 7.1 VM from where I made my template is configured
with NetworkManager, do I have to configure it with classic network?

About network config settings:
If I set only one value for "dns servers" and one value for "dns search
domains" fields, almost all goes well:
ip settings (eg I changed ip and gateway from what was in template) are ok

resolv.conf has been apparently modified, based on its timestamp, but not
updated: my chosen different dns server and search domain are not taken

Any hint on vm pool? If I simulate, and select static in ip config I'm not
proposed with a parametric choice....
