+    The "--no-start" flag can be used to prevent automatic startup of the VM once provisioning
+    is completed. This can be useful for the administrator to preform additional actions to
+    the VM after provisioning is completed. Note that the VM will remain in "provision" state
+    until its state is explicitly changed (e.g. with "pvc vm start").
+
+    The "--no-define" flag implies "--no-start", and can be used to prevent definition of the
+    created VM on the PVC cluster. This can be useful for the administrator to create a "template"
+    set of VM disks via the normal provisioner, but without ever starting the resulting VM. The
+    resulting disk(s) can then be used as source volumes in other disk templates.
