A bit of confusion reading this document for Windows VMs to OpenStack. It's quite old. But I need to clarify with list members. https://superuser.openstack.org/articles/how-to-migrate-from-vmware-and-hype... Is this virtIO driver injection methods still relevant for migrating Windows VMs from Other hypervisors ( in my case HyperV) to OpenStack ( qemu KVM, USSURI version ).

Kris;
This shouldn’t be all that much more difficult than Linux, nor that much harder than a single-disk Windows VM.
Thanks: I am going to follow as you guided here. But I came across the above link a few days back while referring to online documents, Is this VirtIO injection steps necessary nowadays( as the article on the link refers to year 2015 or so. Kindly enlighten me about the relevance of VirtIO injection now also if applicable. But for Single disk WIndows VM importing to my OpenStack, I did not do the VirtIO injection steps:) . Am I doing wrong here ? I am able to get the Single disk Windows VM imported to OpenStack and the instance running and able to login with administrator credentials.
I would start by disabling the SQL service, as the OpenStack instance will boot once before you can add the data disks (at least it does for me when using Horizon).
Export the disks, convert then, and import them, all as you normally would. Create the instance, as you normally would. The instance will start; shut it back down. Attach the additional volumes, and start the instance back up.
It would be nice to have an option to not start the instance after creation.
You could also investigate the “openstack server create” command; it has a --volume argument that you may be able to pass more than once, though I suspect not.
Thank you,

Thank you all.
I am able to get the Single disk Windows VM exported from HyperV and imported to OpenStack(Ussuri, Glance and Qemu KVM ) Instance launched and its showing the status running in the PowerState Tab of Horizon dashboard.
(need to check with the administrator user to login and confirm the VM is working as expected . )
My second phase : I need to perform importing multiple disk Windows VM to my OpenStack setup .
( For single disk Windows vhdx file, I 've converted it to qcow2 file and imported to OpenStack as the steps I posted in my previous emails. )
Now how can I import Multiple disk Windows VM to OpenStack.
First Step is to convert the vhdx files exported from HyperV to qcow2 files.
After this step , what steps need to be performed to bring a multi disk Windows VM to OpeStack ?
For Eg: I have a Windows VM
1. with Application server 1TB single disk image exported from hyperV. This I can import to my OpenStack setup with the steps I followed in my earlier emails as it is a single disk image.
2. A Database server for the above application with 700 GB in multiple disks. ( 100 and 600 GB disks images exported from HyperV and in vhdx format for DB server)
How to bring this server imported to my OpeStack setup (ussuri, glance and QEMU KVM). As this is from Windows HyperV I am new to multidisk environment from Windows.
( for Linux VMs exported from oVirt(RHVM) I am able to import multidisk VMs to OpenStack as they are in LVM and I have to mount it with VG name and adding entries in /etc/fstab file )
But in Windows multi disks how to perform this ? what steps I have to perform to import this to OpenStack. Any hints or suggestions most welcome..

Of course you need a running nova-conductor, how did you launch VMs before?
Zitat von KK CHN <kkchn.in@gmail.com>:
yes. I too suspect this not the problem with image. I have seen the logs: it throwing Errors which pasted here.
Its waiting for nova-conductor service as in the logs. Is this the issue? Do I need to explictly statrt conductor service or some other service ? nova-compute logs pasted below the lines. share your thoughts what may the issue.

I am trying to import a WIndows2012 Single disk VM, to OpenStack Ussuri, with glance and Qemu KVM.
In bare machine KVM I am able to import and boot this Windows VM which exported from rhevm hypervisor as vhdx image. what I have done is
1. converted this windows image from vhdx to qcow2 2. root@MeghCtrol1:/home/cloud/CMOBB_APP#cirt-install --name WINDOWS --ram=1048 --vcups=1 --cpu host --hvm --dick path=BackUP2_CMAPP_disk_1_Windows_qcow2_imagefile,device=disk, format=qcow2,bus=virtio --graphics vnc --boot uefi
This uploaded the qcow2 image of WindowsVM to KVM hypervisor and its working.
But when I do importing to openstack unable to launch instance from the image .
These are the steps I performed..
1. openstack image create "WindowsVM" --file CMAPP_disk_1.qcow2 --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare --public
4.openstack image set --property hw_firmware_type=uefi --property os_secure_boot=required WindowsVM
5.openstack image set --property hw_firmware_type=uefi --property hw_disk_bus=ide WindowsVM
6.openstack image show WindowsVM
7. root@dmzcloud:/home/cloud# openstack image show WindowsVM|grep "properties" | properties | hw_disk_bus='ide', hw_firmware_type='uefi', os_hash_algo='sha512',
os_hash_value='753ee596980409e1e72d6d020c8219c56a6ada8b43f634fb575c594a245725a398e45982c0a1ad72b3fc3451cde62cceb9ff22be044863b31ecdd7893b049349',
os_hidden='False', os_secure_boot='required', owner_specified.openstack.md5='', owner_specified.openstack.object='images/WindowsVM', owner_specified.openstack.sha256='' | root@dmzcloud:/home/cloud#
Then I logged into horizon dashboard, from the images selected the imported image and try to launch the instance. With a Flavour of 550 GB disk, 4 vcpus and 8GB Ram ..
The instance spawning ran for 30 minutes and throws the error which I pasted first in the right top corner of horizon dashboard.
How to solve this error and boot the Windows machine successfully ..
