Windows Template Startup time
Hi, I have create a windows server 2012 R2 64 bit template with 8 vCPU and 16Gbs RAM and 350Gbs as Root Disk and created template on cloudstack 4.3 and xen server 6.2 . Now when I porvision vm with this template it takes around 15 minutes to start the VM and after creation it again takes around 20 minutes to reboot the VM. Please help how can I minimize the reboot time . With warm regards,Prashant Priyam(+91-8802955489)http://in.linkedin.com/in/prashantpriyam
Re: Windows Template Startup time
start/reboot from inside Windows - or are you refering to reboot/start as seen from ACS UI ?

RE: Windows Template Startup time
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.

Re: Windows Template Startup time
What cpu speed did you give the offering? I believe Windows startup is more or less single core Erik Den mandag 29. juni 2015 skrev prashant priyam følgende: > Hi, > I have create a windows server 2012 R2 64 bit template with 8 vCPU and > 16Gbs RAM and 350Gbs as Root Disk and created template on cloudstack 4.3 > and xen server 6.2 . > Now when I porvision vm with this template it takes around 15 minutes to > start the VM and after creation it again takes around 20 minutes to reboot > the VM. > Please help how can I minimize the reboot time . > > > With warm regards,Prashant Priyam(+91-8802955489) > http://in.linkedin.com/in/prashantpriyam >
Re: Windows Template Startup time
Windows instances are usually having a much bigger size than the typical
Linux VM. It's normal to take longer. Even with 10GB network, it can
take up to 5 minutes depending of the load on our SS.

Re: Windows Template Startup time
Just to confirm - you aren't running any SYSPREP on your windows VMs? Try shutting off VM without cloudstack - see if its any better.

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...
