Re: [Xen-API] XCP 1.0 Beta - Unable to create Windows 2008 R2 64 vm

[Chris Percol <chris.percol@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have an ongoing issue in that I can't install a new Windows 2008 R2 vm using the corresponding template on xcp 1 beta and xencentre 5.6 fp1. The vm starts but the installation can't see a hard drive and get's stuck looking for drivers. Below is some data taken from the vm after the failed install.

May not be relevant but the box it is on has 4x1Tb drives using raid 5 on a 3ware controller. In the 3ware bios I created a 40gb boot volume which xcp is on and the rest on another volume (think linux sees as sda and sdb). It has 98Gb of ram and 4x4 opteron cpus.
