w2k3 on Centos5-xen
Hi,
I am trying to use virt-manager to setup a w2k3 domU. I have successfully gotten a centos-5 domU running using cobbler and koan, but windows is not cooperating. The windows installer boots and everything is fine up until the point that the installer reboots the machine. When the machine reboots into the graphical installer I get an error that it can no longer find the media in the cdrom. Of course at that point I have to abort the install because the only options are retry or cancel. I do not know if it is important or not but when windows says it is going to reboot, it actually shutsdown and I have to manually restart it. The config file for the w2k3 domU looks like the following: name = "w2k3" uuid = "24375a2a-30d3-5b4e-1076-bc607f73c35e" maxmem = 500 memory = 500 vcpus = 1 builder = "hvm" kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" boot = "c" pae = 1 acpi = 1 apic = 1 on_poweroff = "destroy" on_reboot = "restart" on_crash = "restart" device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm" sdl = 0 vnc = 1 vncunused = 1 disk = [ "phy:/dev/GEP0/w2k3,hda,w" ] vif = [ "mac=00:16:3e:04:fd:03,bridge=xenbr0,type=ioem u" ] serial = "pty" (geppetto pts10) # rpm -qa | grep virt libvirt-0.2.3-9.el5 libvirt-0.2.3-9.el5 virt-manager-0.4.0-3.el5 libvirt-python-0.2.3-9.el5 python-virtinst-0.103.0-3.el5.centos (geppetto pts10) # The above file is as created by virt-manager. I have been looking through google for the last few hours but no joy. Is virt-manager devel at a point where this is expected to work? If so, can someone give me an idea what I am missing?

Hi Tom,
The way to resolve this is to run virsh dumpxml $id > file.xml edit file.xml at the relevant section to add in the ISO/cdrom path and then run virsh create file.xml Kind regards Chris Sarginson Technical Support UKFast.Net Ltd (t) 0870 111 8866 (f) 0870 458 4545 "The UK's Best Hosting Provider" ISPA Awards 2007, 2006 and 2005 Dedicated Servers - Managed Hosting - Domain Names- http://www.ukfast.net UKFast.Net Ltd, City Tower, Piccadilly Plaza, Manchester, M1 4BT Registered in England.

Is this a bug in virt-manager, I would think virt-manager should add this info when you create a new vm but I am new at all of this virtual stuff so I could be wrong.
