Hi Edmund,

Thank you for your explanations.

But I need to know how to inject drivers to a Windows Server 2012 that has 
installed in other platform without VirtIO, like Vmware ESX. I have a lot of 
migrations of clients to our Openstack Platform with Windows Server 2012 R2 
system.

Install like legacy hardware it does not work correctly, and install dirvers 
manually either. This process it works with any version of Windows, boot like 
hda, install drivers, shutoff and boot like vda. In 2012 CRASH!

Thanks

Hi Emilio,

I had to solve getting Windows 2012 running in KVM recently and was able to do 
so with this nova boot command:

nova boot \
--image [[WINDOWS 2012 INSTALL MEDIA]] \
--block-device source=blank,dest=volume,size=40,shutdown=preserve,device=vda \
--block-device source=image,dest=volume,size=1,shutdown=remove,id=[[ ID OF 
VIRTIO DRIVER DISC ]],type=cdrom \
--flavor m1.medium \
INSTANCE_NAME_GOES_HERE

This ran the Windows 2012 installer, attaching the virtio driver disc 
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Windows_Virtio_Drivers) as another CD and a 
40GB install destination at vda. After the install was done and the instance 
was sysprepped and configured appropriately, I shut it down, snapshotted it, 
and made an image from that. If you can do the Windows installation inside 
OpenStack instead of importing a VMDK from elsewhere, this should let you 
produce an instance that works correctly with QEMU/KVM virtio for storage and 
networking.

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:

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
