2>Memory(RAM) is not mapped properly.
3>with normal mode VM is creating and due to bad configuration , it’s destroying. Need a proper template.

Thanks Wolfsrudel for responding my post.

I have followed the ubuntu example, though I am using it for rhel.
As I have mentioned the JSON file in the previous discussion, I found both RAM & CPU has been agreed. For CPU 1 CPU is allotted for for RAM 32 MB.
Do you se any syntax error or should I change anything to achieve it ?
