Milen, You can only see the part that lets you save or update the image under Edit Reservation if the computer type is 'blade'. This was done because the first vmware support in VCL was for the free server and non-persistent mode was used for the reservations. In non-persistent mode, there is no was to save off the changes made to the image.
The better way of capturing an image is to make the reservation through Manage Images->Create/Update an Image. Then, VCL knows from the beginning that the reservation is for capturing the image and anything (such as not using non-persistent mode) can be done to prepare for that.
