Hi Prashant,
There are a couple of questions here:
1. Has your hardware been configured for optimal I/O throughput?
2. Have you installed XenTools on the VM?
Slow VM Template Deployment:
Initial Template download from SS is dependent on the SSVM, CPU, RAM and
Network speed. Check that all of these have been configured to optimal speed
size. Initial template deployment is slow as the template needs to be
copied from SS first. Subsequent deployments should be faster.
Slow VM Reboot:
This is dependent on the hardware configuration and whether PV drivers
(XenTools) have been installed.
Kind Regards,

Hi,
I have create a windows server 2012 R2 64 bit template with 8 vCPU and 16Gbs

Re: Windows Template Startup time
From my limited windos experience, syspred was a multi reboot process, however after sysprep was done with several reboots as it joined to domain and all - it was behaving normally. If you say it takes 20 minutes to shutdown through cloudstack and 18 minutes from xen, the issue lies more so between the hypervisor and template and not cloudstack...

Hello, I would advise using the images directly from CoreOS website. The documentation is extensive too, and you can be certain to get a latest working image. The fact that the documentation lists dl.openvm.eu is not appropriate in my view (I do support and like the openvm.eu initiative) https://coreos.com/docs/running-coreos/platforms/cloudstack/ Direct link and signatures: http://stable.release.core-os.net/amd64-usr/current/ http://stable.release.core-os.net/amd64-usr/current/coreos_production_cloudstack_image.bin.bz2 http://stable.release.core-os.net/amd64-usr/current/coreos_production_cloudstack_image.bin.bz2.sig I will try to modify this upstream.

RE: Windows Template Startup time
Hi, I am running Sysprep as specified in CloudStack Documentation for Template Creation. When I tried to reboot it from xen server it takes 1-2 minutes less than cloudstack.

Re: Cloud Instance Manager only sets password after reboot on Windows 2012 R2
For people who have been wondering about this, we did get the template
working. Our solution was to restart the machine one time after it boots
the first time. It's not elegant, but it works. The KVM Windows template
can be found here:
https://github.com/greenqloud/packer/tree/master/soffi-windows-2012-standard-r2
The files of note:
- scripts/cloudstack bat
- files/cloud-instance-manager.reg
The default password for the machine is Password123 in the beginning, but
restarting will trigger the cloud instance manager and the password update.

Hi Jeff,
I have seen a similar issue whereby new VMs from Template (Windows 2012
2012 R2) do not have their passwords reset upon first time boot. I have not
had any luck in getting it to work. Any advice here is highly appreciated.
Regards,

Hi,
This is specifically for when the VM first starts up. Don't think it is
specifically a CloudStack problem, it's more of a question about how to
properly configure the Cloud Instance Manager. Basically when the machine
first starts up, it tries to auto-login (despite no registry setting for
that), but fails due to invalid password. The password to log in is the
default password from when I created the template. Cloud Instance Manager
has the garbled output I described in the first post. If I reboot the
machine, it starts up and Cloud Instance Manager works fine, and thus I can
log in with the CloudStack-set password.

Hello Jeff,
Actually to reset password you need to power-off VM first.
Then after start-up it picks up new password from VR.
If you create VM from password-enabled template then
you should get it immediately upon VM start-up.
Whether Windows have to log-in automatically or not -- depends
on windows OS settings. This issue seems does not belong to Cloudstack
or KVM hypervisor. Check your template OS.
I don't see any problems related to CS here.
Vadim.

Hi,
We're building a Windows 2012 template on KVM. It works fine except
that it only sets the password for the VM after rebooting it once.
When the machine first starts up, there is garbled output in the Cloud
Instance Manager logs. For example Added DHCP server: i#x
After rebooting the machine, Cloud Instance Manager works and the
password is set.
Also on the first boot it is trying to auto-login but failing with the
wrong password, if that helps.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeff
