Hi, I tried as you suggested, but floppy is not getting attached it seems. below is the code *Steps followed:* I. Create windows VM II. installed host agent III. *To seal a Windows virtual machine with sysprep* 1. In the Windows virtual machine to be used as a template, open a command line terminal and type *regedit*. 2. The *Registry Editor* window displays. On the left pane, expand *HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE* → *SYSTEM* → *SETUP*. 3. On the main window, right click to add a new string value using *New*→ *String Value*. Right click on the string value file and select *Modify*. When the *Edit String* dialog box displays, fill in the provided text boxes: - Value name: UnattendFile - Value data: a:\sysprep.xml 4. Launch sysprep from C:\Windows\System32\sysprep\sysprep.exe - Under *System Cleanup Action*, select *Enter System Out-of-Box-Experience (OOBE)*. - Tick the *Generalize* checkbox if you need to change the computer's system identification number (SID). - Under *Shutdown Options*, select *Shutdown*. Click *OK*. The virtual machine will now go through the sealing process and shut down automatically. IV. org.ovirt.engine.sdk.decorators.VM vm1 = api.getVMs().get(vmName); Payloads payloads = new Payloads(); Payload payload = new Payload(); payload.setType("floppy"); Files payloadFiles = new Files(); File payloadFile = new File(); payloadFile.setName("sysprep.xml"); payloadFile.setContent("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?> <unattend xmlns=\"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend\"> *FILE CONTENT * "</unattend>"); payloadFiles.getFiles().add(payloadFile); payload.setFiles(payloadFiles); vm1.setPayloads(payloads); Action action = new Action(); vm1.start(action); On Thu, Mar 27, 2014 at 3:52 PM, Itamar Heim <iheim@redhat.com> wrote:

Can you guide me on sysprep with sample code & sysprep file?
just launch a windows VM, look at the generated sysprep file we pass to the VM via the floppy disk. then pass it as a payload as-is. then try to change what you want.

Hi All,
I was doing google to see if i can set Hostname,Password & IP details for Windows server from RHEV-M. I got to know that we can create VM Payload & send that to Windows VM (installed with Cloud-init)
Refer this link http://www.cloudbase.it/cloud-__init-for-windows-instances/# __comment-9411 <http://www.cloudbase.it/cloud-init-for-windows- instances/#comment-9411>
Cloud-init expects Meta-data & User-Data file to be sent either via Config Drive or via HTTP. I'm trying to achive this via ConfigDrive (created using VM Payload).
note you can also just pass the full sysprep file as a payload yourself via the API, and set all these items in it.
But i'm wondering what should be the format of this two files (Meta-data & User-data). Have any1 tried this? If yes, would request to share sample for both the files with setting Hostname, Password & IP details.
just launch a linux VM and check the file we create?
Java code:
org.ovirt.engine.sdk.__decorators.VM vm1 = api.getVMs().get(vmName); Payloads payloads = new Payloads(); Payload payload = new Payload(); payload.setType("cdrom");
Files payloadFiles = new Files(); File payloadFile = new File(); payloadFile.setName("meta-__data.txt"); payloadFile.setContent("__hostname:"+vmName); payloadFiles.getFiles().add(__payloadFile); payload.setFiles(payloadFiles)__; vm1.setPayloads(payloads); Action action = new Action(); vm1.start(action);
