-
SRCNAME
specifies the host name of an existing DomU that you want to delete. -
SRCNAMES
specifies a comma-separated list of host names for existing guests that you want to delete. The specified list of host names must be surrounded by quotation marks. -
STEPNAME
allows you to undo individual steps of the clone operation.The value of stepname can be one of the following:
ADD_INSTANCE

andADD_INSTANCE
