For sheepdog : we can make a snapshot, clone it (with base- name), and delete the original volume. 
(sheepdog can delete parent without problem, datas are not deleted)

But for nexenta, it really seem to be not possible. 

Maybe futur storages won't have the possibily to rename volume ? (yes, that's weird)


What do think of my proposal (copy template from vm) ?
I'd like the idea to not break to original vm, so if the template is wrong, we can simply make change in the vm and remake a new template.

I though a sheepdog base image is just a snapshot? 

All we need to do is to create a snapshot, the delete the original?
