What build of Solaris?
Try the following without the mkfile.. i.e. let vort-install
create the file for you... Do this work?
# virt-install -n win2k3Server-1 --hvm -r 4096 --vnc \
-f /files/vdsk/win2k3Server-1 -s 32 \
-c /files/images/windows/en_windows_server_2003_with_sp1_standard.iso
also, verify
# ls -lL /files/images/windows/en_windows_server_2003_with_sp1_standard.iso
