Hi Fransisco Be careful if you are building Windows 11 or Wiindows Server 2022 templates as Microsoft have changed the default OS partitioning - they have put the recovery partition at the end of the disk..
We build these initially from ISO so we can add a 1Gb partition - this then gives us the opportunity after the VM is built to re-arrange the OS partitions without losing the recovery partition but also allows us to 'resize' the C drive later on if we ever need to - you can find more detailed info here https://superuser.com/questions/1453790/how-to-move-the-recovery-partition-on-windows-10 It can also be useful to install cloudbase-init in your windows template which will give you more provisioning functinality Gary Dixon Quadris Cloud Manager +44 (0) 161 537 4980 +44 (0) 7989 717661 gary.di...@quadris.co.uk www.quadris.com Innovation House, 12-13 Bredbury Business Park Bredbury Park Way, Bredbury, Stockport, SK6 2SN From: Francisco Arencibia Quesada <arencibia.franci...@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2024 11:35 AM To: users@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: Windows templates KVM Good morning guys, Is there any updated guide to build windows templates for KVM? I have one but I'm just checking with you guys the best approach. It is also required to install virtio drivers and qemu guest agent right? I have found the latest version of both, is this enough? https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-virtio/virtio-win-0.1.248-1/ https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-qemu-ga/qemu-ga-win-107.0.1-1.el9/ Regards Thanks in advance :) -- *Francisco Arencibia Quesada.* *DevOps Engineer*
