Can you guide me on sysprep with sample code & sysprep file?<br>
<br>

<br>
just launch a windows VM, look at the generated sysprep file we pass to the VM via the floppy disk.<br>
then pass it as a payload as-is.<br>
then try to change what you want.<br>

Hi All,<br>
<br>
I was doing google to see if i can set Hostname,Password & IP<br>
details<br>
for Windows server from RHEV-M. I got to know that we can create VM<br>
Payload & send that to Windows VM (installed with Cloud-init)<br>
<br>
Refer this link<br>
<a href="http://www.cloudbase.it/cloud-__init-for-windows-instances/#__comment-9411" target="_blank">http://www.cloudbase.it/cloud-<u></u>__init-for-windows-instances/#<u></u>__comment-9411</a><br>

<br>
Cloud-init expects Meta-data & User-Data file to be sent either via<br>
Config Drive or via HTTP. I'm trying to achive this via ConfigDrive<br>
(created using VM Payload).<br>
<br>
<br>
note you can also just pass the full sysprep file as a payload<br>
yourself via the API, and set all these items in it.<br>
<br>
<br>
But i'm wondering what should be the format of this two files<br>
(Meta-data<br>
& User-data). Have any1 tried this? If yes, would request to share<br>
sample for both the files with setting Hostname, Password & IP<br>
details.<br>
<br>
<br>
just launch a linux VM and check the file we create?<br>
<br>
<br>
Java code:<br>
<br>
org.ovirt.engine.sdk.__<u></u>decorators.VM vm1 =<br>
api.getVMs().get(vmName);<br>
Payloads payloads = new Payloads();<br>
Payload payload = new Payload();<br>
payload.setType("cdrom");<br>
<br>
Files payloadFiles = new Files();<br>
File payloadFile = new File();<br>
payloadFile.setName("meta-__<u></u>data.txt");<br>
payloadFile.setContent("__<u></u>hostname:"+vmName);<br>
payloadFiles.getFiles().add(__<u></u>payloadFile);<br>
payload.setFiles(payloadFiles)<u></u>__;<br>
vm1.setPayloads(payloads);<br>
Action action = new Action();<br>
vm1.start(action);<br>
<br>
