VM Wizard

Purpose​

VM Wizard — legacy guided VM creation route. The console now uses the three-step Create VM wizard; /app/vm-wizard redirects there automatically.

When to use it​

  • You followed an old bookmark or doc that pointed at /vm-wizard or /app/vm-wizard
  • You want the current Basics → Resources → Review create flow (use Create VM)
  • Prefer Create VM from Core nav for all new provisioning

How to get there​

  • Route / id: /app/vm-wizard → redirects to /app/create
  • Legacy /vm-wizard also redirects into the /app create flow
  • Nav: use Core → Create VM (/app/create) — there is no separate Wizard nav item

Operate from the console (UX)​

  1. Opening /app/vm-wizard immediately navigates to /app/create — you should not stay on a distinct Wizard page.
  2. Complete the Create VM wizard: Basics (name + image) → Resources (vCPUs, memory, disk, NAT/bridged networking) → Review → create.
  3. After create, continue on /app/vms/:name for console, network, dataplane, and snapshots.
  4. Empty / fail: If create fails, check FluxVM on the Dashboard capability chips and image availability (see Admin basics).
  5. Success: Redirect lands on Create VM; after submit, the new VM appears under Virtual Machines.
