Hi,
Could someone give me some help.
Regards.
Hi,
I need to create some Windows Templates for my client, and I am not quite familiar with the Windows sysprep installations.
I read the "Sealing a Windows Virtual Machine for Deployment as a Template" on the Virtual Machine Management Guide.
What I don't understand is the process of sealing a Windows VM.
When should I use the /usr/share/ovirt-engine/conf/sysprep/sysprep.* files? at the creation of the VM that will be a template at the end? or at the creation of new VMs based on the template?
Sealing the VM is used within the Windows Guest OS via this command:
'C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\sysprep.exe /oobe /generalize /shutdown'
or
'C:\Windows\System32\sysprep\sysprep.exe' (then: Select 'Enter System Out-of-Box-Experience (OOBE)' and check the 'Generalize' checkbox)
Once Windows restarts, you should see your configuration applied to the OS.
When should I use the /etc/ovirt-engine/osinfo.conf.d/xx.files.properties? at the creation of the VM that will be a template at the end? or at the creation of new VMs based on the template?
To change any of the properties you may need to.
What is the difference between : "Use Cloud-Init/Sysprep" in the VM edit window and the RUN Once window?
One needs to set the OS properly within the VM New / Edit functionality for this to work. Then one can choose Cloud-Init/Sysprep and a configuration such as to set the Time Zone.
If the Guest OS is Windows, then Sysprep is used, if Linux then Cloud Init is used.
For me it is not clear, could someone help me to understand.
Regards.
I hope this helps.
With Best Regards
Steven Rosenberg.
