Abstract

Methods and systems for creating and maintaining a virtual library of virtual hard disks involve one or more processors partitioning resources on a physical host computer into at least one virtual machine having at least one virtual hard disk attached to the virtual machine and loading pre-selected custom content on the virtual hard disk. Thereafter, the virtual hard disk may be detached from the virtual machine and cataloged in a database together with control parameters limiting cloning of the detached virtual hard disk. At a later time, the cataloged virtual hard disk loaded with the pre-selected custom content may be attached from the database to the virtual machine on the physical host computer.
