Sean,
That’s odd. I haven’t had any issue so far with the procedure as I described
with both KVM Linux and Windows VMs. I haven’t found a need (yet?) to use
qemu_opts for more than just changing the keyboard layout.
Below is the JSON for a Centos VM:
[root@santaana /opt/json]# cat centos7.json
{
"brand": "kvm",
"vcpus": 1,
"autoboot": false,
„alias": "centos",
"ram": 1024,
"resolvers": ["192.168.0.1"],
"disks": [
{
"image_uuid": "c41bf236-dc75-11e4-88e5-038814c07c11",
"boot": true,
"model": "virtio",
"size": 10240
}
],
"nics": [
{
"nic_tag": "admin",
"model": "virtio",
"ip": "192.168.0.2",
"netmask": "255.255.255.0",
"gateway": "192.168.0.1"
}
],
"qemu_extra_opts": "-k de"
}
The file for a Windows VM would be almost identical but without the
„image_uuid“ line. However, keep in mind that you’d need to add the virtio
drivers to the Windows install media (or mount them from a second iso file).
What is the reason for all the qemu_opts options in your "vmadm update“ command
below?
Best regards,
Peter
