Template from a virtual machine hosted on AHV (Nutanix)

We can create an image from an existing VM with 1 simple command. SSH into a Controller VM (CVM) and issue the following command:
acli image.create MyTemplateName clone_from_vmdisk=vm:Win2k12-msdn:scsi.0
Replace "MyTemplateName" with the name you want to use for the image.
Replace "Win2k12-msdn" with the name of your VM you want to make into an image.
If needed, replace "scsi.0" with the disk location of the VM’s primary disk.
