Hi guys...

After downloading, unzipping and importing the Windows 2012 R2 image for KVM in GLANCE, I want to create a new instance in HORIZON GUI.

gunzip -cd windowsserver2012r2standardevalkvm20140607.qcow2.gz | glance image-create --property hypervisortype=kvm --name "Windows Server 2012 R2 Std Eval" --container-format bare --disk-format qcow2

All went fine, until I try to boot up the machine.

Console shows: "Boot failed: not a bootable disk. No bootable device."

So I tested the image in VirtualBox. Same issue there: "FATAL: No bootable medium found! System haltet"

Any suggestions about this problem ? Regards.

If the image is ok, please make sure you are running on KVM and not QEMU (see libvirt_type in /etc/nova/nova.conf)

Are you sure that the image is ok? Can you please paste the output of the following commands? (preferably using pastebin)

qemu-img info <unarchived_image_path>

qemu-img check <unarchived_image_path>

domainname=$(nova show <instance_display_name> | grep instancename | awk '{print $4}')

virsh dumpxml $domain_name
