Helper VMs: Add option that informs the backend not to install the OS (or start the VM) #329

Closed apyrgio closed 9 years ago

When creating a helper VM decide, using an option, whether the OS will be installed or if the VM will start. This is useful when creating helper VMs for volume removal reasons, since attaching a volume to a live VM may introduce security hazards.

After some consideration, there doesn't seem to be a need a for this option. Since the administrator creates manually the VM, he/she can also stop it manually. The helper VM should, after all, be general purpose.
