Hi, I am using VNC to access some Windows vm's and the default keyboard layout is "en-us" whereas I need to use "en-gb". I can see the "-k en-us" option in the vm.startvm.log but cannot find the appropriate vmadm json value to change it.
I know I could use RDP but that restricts what you can do.

Using qcow2 files on linux, and VHDX files on Hyper-V, you can create differencing disks so that you have a single 'parent image' which is shared between all of your vm instances (saves a lot of space as your obviously only storing changes for each vm). I created a custom KVM image from a sysprep'd Windows Server 2012 R2 x64 vm and imported it locally as in the wiki. From that I was able to generate new vm instances but I assume that the zvol created for each new instance is not a clone of the original zvol (from the golden image) and thus each new vm is getting a copy of the whole original zvol? I'm just interested to know if there is a method using a cloned snapshot of the original zvol that means I can save all this duplicated space? or maybe I am just misunderstanding what imgadm actually does? PS: I can't really afford the memory to enable dedup on the zones pool. Many thanks and sorry for being a novice...
