Nitin Mehta commented on CLOUDSTACK-2354:
-----------------------------------------
Thanks Stephen. Based on your comment I am assuming that atleast the windows
ISOs we will never be able to deterministically find out when the PV drivers
got installed. The reason is when we stop the vm from Cloudstack it actually
destroys it on the XS and when you are deploying the vm you cant beforehand
know whether the template/ISO has the PV drivers correct ? In fact this is true
for any template that do not come with PV drivers correct ? We will now have to
rely on the user to signal to us explicitly that he has installed PV drivers
than finding out ourselves.
Also I had one observation to share that while deploying a windows template
even though the dynamic_max < static_max it deployed fine for me. Any idea how ?
Another question is whether dynamic_max < static_max the only issue if PV
drivers do no exist ? Can we deploy a vm with a setting like static_min =
dynamic_min = X < dynamic_max = static_max = Memory_overprovisioning_factor * X
? This would be useful for memory overprovisioning.
Is this documented somewhere that for DMC to work we need PV drivers and some
related readings so that I am more informed on this ?
Thanks again for your prompt help

> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the
> default.)
> Components: ISO
> Affects Versions: 4.2.0
> Environment: Build No.#256
> (CloudStack-non-OSS-MASTER-256-rhel6.3.tar.gz)
> XenServer6.1 for Host Server, CentOS6.3 for NFS server and CloudStack-Mgr
> Server.
> Reporter: Minying Bao
> Assignee: Harikrishna Patnala
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 4.2.0
>
> Attachments: ISO_Win8.jpg, ISO_XP-Auto-Shutdown.JPG.jpg,
> ISO_XP_State.JPG.jpg, management-server.log
>
>
> 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" )
