------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
> Add support for virt-sysprep for template creation (and possibly VM
> deployment) on KVM
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CLOUDSTACK-353
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-353
> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the
> default.)
> Components: Hypervisor Controller, KVM, Template
> Affects Versions: pre-4.0.0
> Reporter: Kirk Kosinski
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: template
>
> On KVM, the virt-sysprep utility can be used to generalize a Linux VM disk
> image. In RHEL and Ubuntu, this tool is included in the libguestfs-tools
> package and the man page is here:
> http://libguestfs.org/virt-sysprep.1.html
> It would be useful if CloudStack could run virt-sysprep during the process of
> creating a template from a KVM VM. Such an option could be added to the
> createTemplate API and as a checkbox in the UI, and the person creating the
> template would not need to manually perform the tasks handled by
> virt-sysprep. Additionally, it might also be useful to have the option of
> running this tool on a VM immediately prior to booting it for the first time
> after deploying it, since someone might want or need to use existing
> templates that have not have been properly generalized.
