Templates and LVM Storage - Could Create a VM from anotther .raw?

Hi there,

I have a LVM disk for storage, for this I only can create kvm machines in raw extension.
If I have a machine VM-101 (RAW) with Apache or something similar, and I want to create other 7 machines like VM-101. How could I do this?

I think that the only way is create a VM an then replace the vm-XXX-disk-1 with:

dd if=/dev/datastore/vm-101-disk-1 of=/dev/datastore/vm-102-disk-1

Is it the only way?

Thanks
