Hi Lucian, Nice to hear from you again. Below is the KVM version (QEMU version, to be exact) I am using:
# kvm --version QEMU emulator version 2.4.1, Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard I am using Ubuntu instead of CentOS for the KVM host, may I know if this affects KVM running on Ubuntu as well? I am using Intel Xeon E5 series for the hypervisor hosts, not too sure if it's supported and part of the Xeon E series on the list? Looking forward to your reply, thank you. Cheers. -ip- On Tue, Aug 1, 2017 at 12:45 AM, Nux! <n...@li.nux.ro> wrote: > It could be this > https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_ > Enterprise_Linux/6/html/6.8_Release_Notes/known_issues_virtualization.html > > -- > Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology! > > Nux! > www.nux.ro > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Nux!" <n...@li.nux.ro> > > To: "users" <users@cloudstack.apache.org> > > Cc: "dev" <d...@cloudstack.apache.org> > > Sent: Monday, 31 July, 2017 16:54:51 > > Subject: Re: Windows Server 2016 - unable to boot ISO for installation > > > What version of KVM? > > > > -- > > Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology! > > > > Nux! > > www.nux.ro > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > >> From: "Cloud List" <cloud-l...@sg.or.id> > >> To: "users" <users@cloudstack.apache.org> > >> Cc: "dev" <d...@cloudstack.apache.org> > >> Sent: Monday, 31 July, 2017 03:31:45 > >> Subject: Windows Server 2016 - unable to boot ISO for installation > > > >> Dear all, > >> > >> I am using CloudStack 4.8.1.1 with KVM hypervisor.
