RE: [Xen-users] windows 2008 x64 no cdrom.

["Robbie Garrett" <rgarrett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have made the changed you requested and below is my config file.

I'm using xen 3.4.1 with kernel of 2.6.18.8-xen.  The problem is still there
for me.

import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search('64', arch):
    arch_libdir = 'lib64'
else:
    arch_libdir = 'lib'


kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
memory = '1024'
device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'

# Should be at least 2KB per MB of domain memory, plus a few MB per vcpu.
name = "windows"
vif         = [ 'ip=204.124.181.89,mac=00:16:3E:FE:C2:02,vifname=windows' ]
disk =
['file:/windows/xenwin2008.img,ioemu:hda,w','file:/windows/winxpSP2.iso,ioem
u:hdc:cdrom,r']
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
# boot on floppy (a), hard disk (c) or CD-ROM (d)
# default: hard disk, cd-rom, floppy
boot="dc"
sdl=0
vnc=1
vncconsole=1
vncpasswd=''

#serial='pty'
usbdevice='tablet'

acpi=1
apic=1
pae=1
usb=1
viridian=1

This is just a guess here, but what about puttin an ioemu:hda instead of
just hda.

So the line would read:

disk =
['file:/windows/xenwin2008.img,ioemu:hda,w','file:/windows/winxpSP2.iso,ioem
u:hdc:cdrom,r']

It was my understanding that the ioemu is required for all HVM windows
domain disks (whether CDROM or HDD).

Also, what version of xen are you running?
