Description

Note that in the example below, even though the initialState is passed as 'STOPPED', the machine is created with a "STARTED' state.

curl -v -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/xml" -d '<Machine><name> myMachine2 </name><machineTemplate><initialState> STOPPED </initialState><machineConfig href="http://localhost:3001/cimi/machine_configurations/m1-small"></machineConfig><machineImage href="http://localhost:3001/cimi/machine_images/img2"></machineImage></machineTemplate></Machine>' --user "un:pw" "http://localhost:3001/cimi/machines"
