[Users] Cloud-init for Windows

[Tejesh M]

Hi,

I tried as you suggested, but floppy is not getting attached it seems.
below is the code



*Steps followed:*

I. Create windows VM
II. installed host agent
III. *To seal a Windows virtual machine with sysprep*

   1. In the Windows virtual machine to be used as a template, open a
   command line terminal and type *regedit*.
   2. The *Registry Editor* window displays. On the left pane, expand
   *HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE* → *SYSTEM* → *SETUP*.
   3. On the main window, right click to add a new string value using
*New*→ *String
   Value*. Right click on the string value file and select *Modify*. When
   the *Edit String* dialog box displays, fill in the provided text boxes:
      - Value name: UnattendFile
      - Value data: a:\sysprep.xml
   4. Launch sysprep from C:\Windows\System32\sysprep\sysprep.exe
      - Under *System Cleanup Action*, select *Enter System
      Out-of-Box-Experience (OOBE)*.
      - Tick the *Generalize* checkbox if you need to change the computer's
      system identification number (SID).
      - Under *Shutdown Options*, select *Shutdown*.

Click *OK*. The virtual machine will now go through the sealing process and
shut down automatically.

  org.ovirt.engine.sdk.decorators.VM vm1 =  api.getVMs().get(vmName);
  Payloads payloads = new Payloads();
  Payload payload = new Payload();
  payload.setType("floppy");

  Files payloadFiles = new Files();
  File payloadFile = new File();
  payloadFile.setName("sysprep.xml");
  payloadFile.setContent("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>
<unattend xmlns=\"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend\"> *FILE CONTENT *
"</unattend>");
  payloadFiles.getFiles().add(payloadFile);
  payload.setFiles(payloadFiles);
  vm1.setPayloads(payloads);
  Action action = new Action();
  vm1.start(action);
