Re: [ovirt-users] python floppy in RunOnce mode

Hi Juan,
I've been using something you suggested some month ago (see below) to
start windows 7 VMs and perform the sysprep specialize phase.
Some days ago I updated rhev from 3.5.3.1-1.4.el6ev to
3.5.6.2-0.1.el6ev, and that code is not working anymore (no sysprep
floppy attached).
I noticed that when params.Action() is empty, VMs start in normal mode,
not "run once". So I tried to fill it with a vm:
action = params.Action(vm=params.VM(name="myvm"))
This way VM starts in "run once" mode, but, again, no sysprep floppy is
attached, and no proper specialization is applied (e.g. windows domain
join is not performed).
Any hints?
Thanks in advance,
Giulio Casella
The sysprep logic is only triggered once, the first time you start the
VM. So you will need to create it again, set the initialization data and
start it, basically repeat the steps that I suggested.
There were some bugs around this behaviour, some still not fixed in 3.5,
and it wasn't clear when the VM will use or not use sysprep, so we have
introduced a flag to explicitly force use of sysprep.
Please try to use this flag:
action = params.Action(use_sysprep=True)
vm.start(action)
