Precheck runs on your virtual machine before attempting to import it into Google Compute Engine (GCE). It attempts to identify compatibility issues that will either cause import to fail or will cause potentially unexpected behavior post-import. See Compatibility Issues.
Precheck must be run as root or Administrator on the running system you want to import.
