Description

The call to register templates and isos does more than most sync calls do, it seems to talk to the ssvm and have it run commands that can potentially time out. I ran into this in a test system when we tried to register a template with a non-routable URL. The cloudstack API call just hung. I realize that there was a problem (ssvm could not reach the template host), but no sync call should do anything like this that would block.
