Hi,

I am creating Windows RAW image file for KVM Hypervisor for Openstack using the autounattend answer file which installs the OS, install cloudbase init and then do a sysprep with another unattend answer file. Once the image is created I use the image to spawn the instances. However after creating first instance all other instance fail to spawn, using the base image, with the below error message. I have tried modifying the setting in the unattend answer file but in vain.

""The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed""

PS: I have 2 Openstack Juno setup and this image works fine in one and behaves as mentioned above in other.

I was able to fix the issue by modifying the unattend file. I am still investigating as to what was the issue in the original answer file which was causing the image to fail however I now have the working images of 2012 R2 and STD.

Hello,

you need to make sure that you are using kvm (libvirt_type=kvm in the compute's nova.conf). More information you can find here: http://ask.cloudbase.it/question/1227...

Thanks, Adrian Vladu.

Moreover, you need the virtio drivers provided by fedora, to be installed if you are using virtio-scsi or virtio-net: fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/

I have installed the virtIO drivers as well. The image works on one environment and fails on other.

I understand. If possible, can you provide the qemu-kvm command used in either environments on a pastebin? The command can be retrieved by issuing a 'ps aux | grep kvm' on the compute nodes. I would like to see if there is any difference between the commands, in order to reproduce your issue. Thanks
