[ops][victoria] Windows Server 2012 R2 - Can't install - unbootable
All; We have a recently built Victoria cluster with storage provided by a Ceph Nautilus cluster. I'm working through the following tutorial: https://medium.com/@yooniks9/openstack-install-windows-server-2016-2019-with... When I get to step 4 under "Windows Server Installation," it says "Windows can't be installed on this drive." Details are: " Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu. Any recommendations on what I'm missing here would be appreciated.

Hi, If you checked that bootable volume has selected when creating volume, then you can try press 'Next' button if it's not grey. But IOE, if you're going to make this image as public after build, note that it may become a problem because you can't modify visibility for image uploaded from volume. Also, we don't know if Ceph storage method changed in Victoria or not. But in Rocky, upload volume to image will just create a RBD snapshot from volume in Ceph layer. That means you can't delete that volume unless delete the child image first in the future. Because the above reason, we still suggest using Linux KVM to build Windows image. <DHilsbos@performair.com> 於 2021年3月27日 週六 上午1:49寫道:

Hi, how are your images configured wrt hw_disk_bus and hw_scsi_model? Just last week I tried to update a windows image (Win 8) in Glance since it's recommended to use hw_scsi_model=virtio-scsi and hw_disk_bus=scsi. But the vm kept showing a bluescreen and didn't start until I removed those glance properties. Maybe that's what you're hitting, too? Regards, Eugen Zitat von DHilsbos@performair.com:
