Hi Kirk,

   Thanks for your help! According to your hint, I had solved the trouble. I 
converted the disk controller of the template to lsilogic by vcenter. It seems 
that everything is very well when used the template to create instance on 
cloudstack.



Regards,
Xintao Song

Hi, Xintao.  What disk controller did you configure on your uploaded template?  
CloudStack only uses lsilogic and will ignore any special configuration in the 
OVF of an uploaded OVA template, so make sure that any VMs to be imported to 
CloudStack use the lsilogic disk controller.

This should be simple if you are creating the template yourself, but might be a 
problem if you are using a virtual appliance from a vendor.
I saw someone recently who wanted to use a Juniper virtual appliance, but it 
was configured with the buslogic controller for some reason and wouldn't boot 
when deployed via CloudStack with lsilogic.  In that case Juniper built a new 
version that used lsilogic, but some vendors might not be so helpful.

Another possible problem would be if the uploaded template includes multiple 
VMDKs and needs them all to boot.  CloudStack doesn't support OVAs with 
multiple VMDKs (or with ISOs) and it will only use one VMDK from the OVA.

I'm not sure what else would cause the BSOD you're seeing.  If the above 
doesn't help, share a screen shot of the BSOD or at least the error code since 
it may help narrow down the problem.
