  • Thread-topic: My first Windows VM

Not having much luck. I've been able to create any Linux guest at any time but windows is being difficult. Typically I use Cloudmin to manage this for me but am getting more into the manual config since Windows doesn't seem to play nice. I've looked at numerous examples and tried them all yet nothing seems to work. I can't get it to launch at all. Here are the relevant configs. Hopefully someone will know what the errors are.

[root@h1 xen]# cat win-2008-server.cfg
memory = 8192
maxmem = 12000
name = 'win-2008-server'
vif = [ 'ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,mac=00:16:3e:93:6B:E7' ]
address = 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'
netmask = '255.255.255.224'
disk = ['phy:/dev/vg_hosting1/win-2008-server_img,hda,w','file:/images/en_windows_server_2012_r2_vl_x64_dvd.iso,hdc:cdrom,r']
boot = 'dc'
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder = "hvm"
device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm"
acpi = 1
pae = 1
vnc = 1
vnclisten = "0.0.0.0"
vncunused = 1
vncpasswd = "test"

I can't find a clear definition of the errors though.

Any help is MUCH appreciated.
