Capture base image of Win10

[Luis A Lopez Negron <lu...@upr.edu>]

Hi Folks:

I'm trying to capture a base image of Win10 but I have some problems.

1. I use KVM as the hypervisor platform but the Image Capture option that I
see on the menu is for vmware, does VCL support KVM for Win10 image?
2. I'm attaching part of the vcld.log that shows in detail what is
happening during the image capturing.  I appreciate your help.

Hi Luis,

VCL does support capturing from KVM.  If I'm thinking of the same place you 
are talking about in the management node image capture menu, "vmware" is a bit 
misleading.  It really means virtual as opposed to bare metal.  VCL was 
started long enough ago that it only did bare metal provisioning.  Once we 
added in virtualization support, vmware was really the only thing around.  
We've never gone back through to clean up strings like that leftover in the 
code.

- From your logs, it looks like it is failing because C:/Cygwin/tmp doesn't 
exist on your VM.  I would have though the tmp directory would have been 
created when installing Cygwin.  Try manually creating C:/Cygwin/tmp and 
restarting the capture again.  You can restart the image capture at the bottom 
of the Dashboard page.
