Here is how i create my template file.
I install template os and xentools in iscsi sr.
Copy vm to a nfs sr.
Tar cjf .vhd file to .vhd.bz2
Put it into my httpd server
Upload it from cloudstack ui.

I am using xencenter copying vm to a nfs sr to convert vm to .vhd file format.
I have not tested if that .vhd file can be import back into xenxerver.

I am not sure if my procedure of template creating is ok. Do i have to get .vhd 
file from a xen command?

Thanks,

Martin
