vmctl: invalid parent template error
Hi,
I recently fat fingered the vm template passed to vmctl and was greeted
with the following error:
vmctl: start vm command failed: Operation not permitted
I think we can be more specific in order to improve usability:
vmctl: could not find specified parent template
Comments? OK?
