[jira] [Commented] (CLOUDSTACK-2354) Unable to create Windows VMs using ISO

["Sanjay Tripathi (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-2354?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13658394#comment-13658394 ] 

Sanjay Tripathi commented on CLOUDSTACK-2354:
---------------------------------------------

I investigated the issue and my observations are:
    -- While passing the params in VM deployment, CS is hard coding the "memory-static-max" value (which is 8GB)  and in case of ISO, since the PV drivers are not installed, VM is crashing during the installtion.
    -- The "memory-static-max" value is hard coded during the development of "Scaling up CPU and RAM for running VMs" feature and if I change the value of "memory-static-max" back to dynamic value(coming from service offering), windows boots properly from ISO (I tested on my local setup) but this will affect the scaling up feature.

> Repro Steps
> Setup the cloudstack environment as normal. (Configured NFS & CS-Mgr Servers)
> Launch browser, start CloudStack WebConsole and finish to build a cloud step by step. (It should use workaround of build#256 when building a cloud.)
> Register the ISOs to the CloudStack as follows Win7, Win8, 2k8R2, XP. Wait for "Status" showing "Successfully Installed".
> Add instances from all above ISOs.
> Expected Result
> All the instances should be added successfully, and all the related VMs should be launched successfully on XenServer Host.
> Actual Result
> Unable to create Windows VMs using ISO.
> VMs based on the Win8/Win7 ISOs -> WebConsole show "Error" (refer to screenshot "ISO_Win8.jpg") 
> VMs based on the XP/W2k8r2 ISO -> WebConsole show "Running" -> Auto-shutdown during the OS installation -> WebConsole show "Stopped" (refer to screenshots "ISO_XP-Auto-Shutdown.JPG" and "ISO_XP_State.JPG" )
