Hello, I have an VM. Showing this warning/error. This is live VM. There are running apps on it. There is better way to resolve this except Deleting and recreating the virtual machine?

OS Provisioning for VM 'new-CA-vm' did not finish in the allotted time. This error occurred too many times consecutively from image 'ifca-image'. Make sure the image has been properly prepared (generalized).

Deleting and recreating the virtual machine may resolve the issue.
