Windows Server 2008 Template
Hi,
I'm using Cloudstack 4.1 and Xenserver 6.0.2.
I Installed windows server 2008 R2 with xenserver tools and cloud.com
VM instance tools.
syspreped it with "Enter System out of box experience" + Generalize.
Shutdown the machine and created a template.
I created an instance using the template and the instance came up but:
1) It had a different IP address to the one given in Cloudstack
2) No gateway was set
Any idea why this is happening and how to fix it?
Thanks,
Ian

That sounds like we should have a "black magic" chapter in our troubleshooting section.

Kirk is absolutely right, we always set this flag in the sysprep answer file, regardless of Hypervisor type.

If the hypervisor tools or drivers are not working after the template is deployed, try enabling PersistAllDeviceInstalls in the sysprep answer file.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the replies.
It seems Kirk(Jantzer) was correct. For whatever reason when I put the
xen tools into the template it got a link-local address. When I placed
them to install with the sysprep answer file it worked as expected.
Thanks!

Ian - As the other Kirk said (I don't get to say that often :-P), if it's
getting that kind of IP, it could mean the NIC drivers aren't getting
installed correctly. I've found Windows works better in CS when you run
post scripts that are kicked off via a sysprep answer file, rather than
just wrapping things up in an image.

Hi, Ian. Is it getting an 169.254.x.x IP? If so, it means it cannot get
an IP via DHCP. In this case, try setting the IP manually to the IP it
should have, then try to diagnose network connectivity (ping virtual
router, ping other VMs, etc.).
Best regards,
Kirk
