[one-users] Contextualization

[Christophe Duez]

Hello,
Thank you for the extensive responds
This is what I did and where I got stuck:

Export the libvirt xml of the VM from the host,

>> virsh dumpxml one-45 > /tmp/XmlDumpFile
>
>

> stop the VM,
>
>> virsh destroy one-45
>>
>
> undefine the domain.

>> virsh undefine one-45

>

> Configure the xml to mount a local folder from the host inside the VM [1].

>>       <target dir='/tmp/contextualization'/>
>>       <readonly/>
>>     </filesystem>

VNC to it,
