[Openstack-operators] VirtIO and IDE disk

Hi Peter,

Drivers are correct for Windows 2012 R2, if I install one server with 2012 ISO disk and VirtIO ISO to volume. All it’s ok!
But...if I receive one vmdk image, I convert it to raw and launch it with ide bus on hda...but i want lauch it with virtio bus.

Boot the instance...install virtio driver for Windows 2012 R2 of last ISO from fedora like “legacy hardware” and shutoff...at the next boot...BSOD of Windows 2012.

This process it’s ok with Windows 2008 R2, Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows 7 and Windows 8.


One solution is launch volume in my PC with KVM local install, I can launch instance with two volumes, first IDE hda volume with system and second volume like vdc VirtIO. When I boot system, I can install drivers for second VirtIO volume and then I can launch system volume like VirtIO VDA without problems. I think that Windows install driver correctly with virtio volume attached.


Finally, I want to launch one instance in Openstack JUNO, with two volumes, one IDE HDA and second VirtIO like vdc for example. I can’t launch instance like this, this is my last option because manually install of drivers on Windows 2012 installed and migrated fail.

Thanks

Sounds like you need to use the correct paravirtualization drivers for the hypervisor you are using.   I highly suggest you create the Windows vm on that hypervisor with certified paravirtualization drivers from the vendor of the Linux distribution you are using.

If you have more questions, email me here: Openstack at microsoft.com<mailto:Openstack at microsoft.com> and I'll setup a call.

Hi all,

We have very problems to launch Windows Server 2012 without viostor driver.
I can launch with “hda” and install drivers but before we have BSOD on Windows.

It’s possible launch instance with one volume on hda and other volume with vdc for example to install drivers without legacy software?

How I can to resolve this with glance image of Windows imported from ESX Server. (VirtIO drivers are in C:\ )

Thanks
