Re: [Devstack] [Hyper-V] Instance fails to launch on Hyper-V server

 

Did you explicitly create the vm as a VHD.  If not it was created as VHDX.   VHDX isn't currently supported, it's on our roadmap for Havana.

Subject: [Openstack] [Devstack] [Hyper-V] Instance fails to launch on Hyper-V server

Hi guys,

I'm having an issue deploying a vm to a hyper-v host, i wont boot
note: the disk_image itself was built by that very hyperv host

I'm currently using openstack (devstack) build grizzly within a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

And my HyperV has  got the "Hyper-V Nova-Compute Driver"

please, check it out:

I have successfully uploaded (glance image-create) a WinServer virtual machine from a Hyper-V host with the property "hypervisor_type=hyperv". Here are the stats:

But for some reason, it won't ever boot.
"nova --boot" is not being able to start it in my HyperV...

I can see that disk_image file within my folder C:\OpenStack\Instances of the Hyper-V server, that means the transfer to the server was done, right? Am I missing anything ?

But for some reason, it never goes up to ACTIVE. If crashes to ERROR

$ /opt/stack/keystone/etc$ nova list
+--------------------------------------+--------------------+--------+---------------------+
| ID                                   | Name               | Status |

+--------------------------------------+--------------------+--------+---------------------+


I made sure to have added to the Scheduler filters in my /etc/nova/nova.conf, as below:


## Setting up Custom Filters
scheduler_available_filters=nova.scheduler.filters.all_filters
schedule_default_filters=ImagePropertiesFilter

Thanks a lot!
