[Bug 1597502] Re: Windows ISO won't detect ephemeral drive with virtio driver

 

It is really not clear this is a nova bug, all the reproduce are about
Fuel and Horizon. If you can boil this down to a Nova bug where
something is passing data to Nova (outside of these tools), and it's not
doing the expected thing then we can probably start to figure out what
the issue is.

Title:
  Windows ISO won't detect ephemeral drive with virtio driver

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Environment:

  Fuel 9.0 deployed Mitaka, ceph backs everyone except ephemeral drives.

  Procedure:

  Download en_windows_server_2012_r2_x64_dvd_2707946.iso from MSDN.

  Download https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-
  downloads/latest-virtio/virtio-win.iso

  Extract contents of en_windows_server_2012_r2_x64_dvd_2707946.iso to
  C:\Images\ISO

  Extract contents of virtio-win.iso (virtio-win-0.1.118.iso) to
  C:\Images\virtio-win-0.1.118

  copy virtio-win-0.1.118/ folder into .\ISO folder.

  Run the following command:

  oscdimg -n -m -bc:\Images\ISO\boot\etfsboot.com C:\Images\ISO C:\Images\en_windows_server_2012_r2_x64_dvd_
  2707946_Openstack.iso

  At this point if I look at the contents of en_windows_server_2012_r2_x64_dvd_
  2707946_Openstack.iso I see a folder inside with the name "virtio-win-0.1.118" (which contains all of the virtio drivers).

  Upload image to OS through Horizon. Boot a VM with Horizon, when the
  Windows installation asks "Where do you want to install Windows?" the
  box is blank (there is no disk drive detected to install the OS). I
  select "Load driver" select "Browse..." select the virtio driver
  viostor\2k12R2\amd64 no driver is found. If I uncheck the box that
  says "Hide drivers that aren't compatible with this computer's
  hardware." I see "Red Hat VirtIO SCSI controller (D:\VIRTIO-
  WIN-0.1.118\VIOSTOR\2k12R2\AMD64\VIOSTOR.INF)" show up. If I click
  "Next" it installs the driver but I still see a blank box on where to
  install the operating system.

  From everything I can find the virtio drivers are the correct drivers
  I need for Windows to install on OS.
