When attempting to create a template the process fails. It has been suggested to run
virt-sysprep manually and see why it it failed. Specifically, I have an Ubuntu 20.04
machine that doesn't boot properly even if the the template process does finish
without error. I have tried creating the template several times as a test. about 80% of
the time the template creation fails outright for qemu errors. The other 20%
"appear" to work but the system boots to a grub emergency prompt
Can someone clarify the process?
I know you can run the command: virt-sysprep -d <name_of_vm>
1. Where do you run it from? The hypervisor host or the management engine?
2. What account do you need to use? What is the authentication username and password?
I also think I read somewhere that you should refrain from using root. Anything else to
know?
Anything else to try regarding the grub prompt?
Thanks.
