Windows Template Startup time
Hi,
I have create a windows server 2012 R2 64 bit template with 8 vCPU and 16Gbs RAM and 350Gbs as Root Disk and created template on cloudstack 4.3 and xen server 6.2 .
Now when I porvision vm with this template it takes around 15 minutes to start the VM and after creation it again takes around 20 minutes to reboot the VM.
Please help how can I minimize the reboot time .
With warm regards,Prashant Priyam(+91-8802955489)http://in.linkedin.com/in/prashantpriyam

Hi ilya,
I am still confused where exactly error is . I have gone through the cloudstack documentation for template creation and followed all the specified steps.
Is there anything more I should do to decrease the reboot time of VM.

From my limited windos experience, syspred was a multi reboot process,
however after sysprep was done with several reboots as it joined to
domain and all - it was behaving normally.
If you say it takes 20 minutes to shutdown through cloudstack and 18
minutes from xen, the issue lies more so between the hypervisor and
template and not cloudstack...

Hi,
I am running Sysprep as specified in CloudStack Documentation for Template Creation.
When I tried to reboot it from xen server it takes 1-2 minutes less than cloudstack.

Just to confirm - you aren't running any SYSPREP on your windows VMs?
Try shutting off VM without cloudstack - see if its any better.

Windows instances are usually having a much bigger size than the typical
Linux VM. It's normal to take longer. Even with 10GB network, it can
take up to 5 minutes depending of the load on our SS.

Windows instances are usually having a much bigger size than the typical
Linux VM. It's normal to take longer. Even with 10GB network, it can
take up to 5 minutes depending of the load on our SS.

RE: Windows Template Startup time

Hi Prashant,
There are a couple of questions here:
1. Has your hardware been configured for optimal I/O throughput?
2. Have you installed XenTools on the VM?
Slow VM Template Deployment:
Initial Template download from SS is dependent on the SSVM, CPU, RAM and Network speed. Check that all of these have been configured to optimal speed & size. Initial template deployment is "slow" as the template needs to be copied from SS first. Subsequent deployments should be faster.
Slow VM Reboot:
This is dependent on the hardware configuration and whether PV drivers (XenTools) have been installed.

start/reboot from inside Windows - or are you refering to reboot/start as
seen from ACS UI ?
