Fuel for OpenStack

Generate the instance(windows) with uploaded image

Asked by Wang Yijun

Environment:
Mirantis Openstack 5.1
vSphere 5.5 as compute node
Deploy with HA mode

Upload a ISO format image and generating instance, whatever windows2003 or windows2008 cannot complete normal installation, stay in different graphical installation interface, not crash. CentOS can be installed properly.

When I upload a vmdk format image and generating instance, Windows2003 can be created but failed to operate the mouse pointer,the NIC driver cannot identify.

I Upload the image via CLI.How to fill in"Architecture" in UI?

Hello,

not all images works from box in virtual environment.
Seems you should download a special one or create it.
Please see where to download http://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/content/ch_obtaining_images.html#windows-images
and how to create http://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/content/windows-image.html
