Hello, I'm having troubles with a new VM created from a template. I did run sysprep in the windows 2008R2 machine before creating a template from it. I have already used this template multiple times and even this time it initially started up just fine but not a second time. This is what I see that is troublesome in the vdsm.log file when I try to start up the VM.
