<div dir="ltr">Hi Christophe,<div><br></div><div>I would simply register the context package as a "Context" File in the "Files & Kernels" datastores. Then update the template of the VM and select that file in the Context -> Files tab. After instantiating the VM again, you simply open or mount the cdrom (typically under /dev/sr0) and access the context package there.</div>

</div><div><br></div><div>BTW, at some point we want to provide a CD-ROM iso with all the context packages inside of it, which would come in handy in this type of situations.</div><div><br></div><div>cheers,<br>Jaime</div>

<div>The simplest way when you are creating a new template is to make one VM from the template while the image is persistent, manually assign the IP information to the VM via VNC, spice or what have you, then install all the base software including the contextualization
package. Then clean up the logs etc, destroy the Vm, set the image back to no-persistant and your contextualization will work when you make new VM’s based on the image.</div>
