    <title>Creating a Bare Metal Template</title>
    <para>Before you can create a bare metal template, you must have performed several other installation and setup steps to create a bare metal cluster and environment. See Bare Metal Installation in the Installation Guide. It is assumed you already have a directory named "win7_64bit" on your CIFS server, containing the image for the bare metal instance. This directory and image are set up as part of the Bare Metal Installation procedure.</para>
