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')
