Mills for providing this info) 1) Create a payload file - Mine looked like this (payload.dat): <vm> <payloads> <payload type='floppy'> <files> <file> <name>sysprep.inf</name> <content><![CDATA[ <THE RAW SYSPREP XML> ]]> </content> <type>BASE64</type> </file> </files> </payload> </payloads> </vm> Where I have "<THE RAW SYSPREP XML>", I just dumped a full sysprep XML file. Just make sure it is in between the CDATA tags so it is escaped properly. 2) Upload the payload into the VM: # curl -X PUT -H "Accept: application/xml" -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -k -u admin@internal:<pass> -d @payload.dat https:// <server>/api/vms/<vm-id> The URL is simply the full path of the VM, which I obtained by parsing "api/vms" 3) Boot the machine - Assuming the sysprep information is correct, all the sysprep settings will be applied. > > On Thu, Mar 27, 2014 at 3:52 PM, Itamar Heim < iheim(a)redhat.com > wrote: > > > On 03/27/2014 06:18 AM, Tejesh M 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. > > > > > On Thu, Mar 27, 2014 at 3:16 PM, Itamar Heim < iheim(a)redhat.com > <mailto: iheim(a)redhat.com >> wrote: > > On 03/27/2014 05:33 AM, Tejesh M wrote: > > Hi All, > > I was doing google to see if i can set Hostname,Password & IP > details > for Windows server from RHEV-M.
