Title:
VMWAREAPI: Problem with starting Windows instances on ESXi 5.1
Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
Fix Released
Status in The OpenStack VMwareAPI subTeam:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
After creating an win2k8r2 64bit instance, it can't boot and there is no drivers for ethernet adapter card.
The problem is in disk adapter type, which is configurated in *.vmx file "scsi0.virtualDev = "lsilogic""
Windows 7 or greater does not support this adapter to resolve this I had to change script: /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/nova/virt/vmwareapi/vmops.py in line 113
113 'ns0:VirtualLsiLogicController')
to
113 'ns0:VirtualLsiLogicSASController')
and restart nova-compute.
Another thing is network adapter type "VirtualPCNet32". There is no windows(7 or greater) drivers for this card. To resolve this change line 130 in the same script.
130 net_device = client_factory.create('ns0:VirtualPCNet32')
to
130 net_device = client_factory.create('ns0:VirtualE1000')
