Dear All,

Hi,

Hello Valentine,
I followed the steps in and could install Win7 using virt-install command.
Win7 OS gets installed in 7GB HDD and I could see Win7 desktop using
virt-manager.
Then I power-off the machine and create the image, template VM

Hello Sudeep,
I have never used virt-install but I doubt it install the VirtIO drivers [1]
by itself inside the Windows 7 image.
Without those drivers the virtio doesn't work inside the machine, in the
sense
that Windows Installer doesn't see any HDD present.
Can you boot the VM on your local
Dear Valentine,
Yes I can boot the VM in my local machine using qemu.
Right now I have installed win7 in my virtualbox converted .vdi to .qcow2
format using qemu-utils
after that shall try to import the qcow2 file at /var/lib/libvirt/images/
folder and try again.

Dear Sir,
I have been trying to install Windows-7 64bit in OpenNebula. Our target is
to create a VM with Windows as OS.
Below are the steps that I followed. But not able to runn the VM. SeLinux
is Disabled in both servers.
[root@front ~]# getenforce-- Frontend
Disabled
[root@nc1 ~]#
The errors that you are pointing out, don't seem to have
any direct connection to the fact that you are trying to
install a windows VM, there is nothing windows-specific about them.
Looks like OpenNebula failed to clone the blank windows image
to the system datastore due to some permissions
I believe that the image is not a qcow2 image but raw. You can check
the format with:
$ qemu-img info /var/lib/libvirt/images/win7.qcow2

Dear Javier,
You are true. It is raw indeed. But I made it like qcow2! Below is the
command I executed for qcow2.
[oneadmin@front images]$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o preallocation=metadata
/storage/local/images/
winserv1.qcow2 8G
Formatting '/var/lib/libvirt/images/win7.qow2', fmt=qcow2
Hello Sudeep,
Note that virt-install doesn't care that your image is already created, it
overwrites it and changes the format to raw.
Take a look over this article [1], on how to pass the format of the
image to virt-install.
Or just qemu-img convert your raw image to qcow2.
