Title: config drive not visible to windows Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova): Fix Released Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) grizzly series: Fix Released Bug description: When I boot a windows 2008 server image in libvirt/kvm with --config- drive True, the config drive isn't usable by the windows guest as far as I can tell. I start with devstack, load a windows 2008 server image into glance, and boot it with an appropriately large flavor. When I go to "My Computer", only C: is available. "Disk Management" in "Server Manager" shows a Disk 0 (C:), and a Disk 1, which I assume is the config drive, but it's status is "Unknown/Not Initialized". The XML for the domain looks shows the disk is presented to the guest: <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2' cache='none'/> <source file='/opt/stack/data/nova/instances/21499a0c-d65e-4d9b-9040-2a54edf10b1f/disk'/> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> <alias name='virtio-disk0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/> <source file='/opt/stack/data/nova/instances/21499a0c-d65e-4d9b-9040-2a54edf10b1f/disk.config'/> <target dev='vdz' bus='virtio'/> <alias name='virtio-disk25'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </disk> I can mount the disk.config as an iso on the host linux system. I expect that on Windows I'd be able to see a D: and be able to open it up and see the config drive files. As another experiment, I tried setting config_drive_format = vfat in nova.conf. The result was pretty much the same but the drive showed up in "Disk Management" in "Server Manager" as "Basic/64 MB", but it still didn't show up as a D: drive. The XML for the domain looks shows the disk is presented to the guest: <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/> <source file='/opt/stack/data/nova/instances/a924026f-e3eb-4ecc-a276-2875fa4f11d4/disk.config'/> <target dev='vdz' bus='virtio'/> <alias name='virtio-disk25'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </disk> I'm wondering if OpenStack needs to present the config drive differently so that it's usable by the Windows guest when running under kvm. I'm running OpenStack/devstack on Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS. libvirtd --version shows 0.9.8. nova is from github master, the latest commit is this one: commit 0ca55dcccdd76181a3b9311945e0b99ae6381e53 Merge: 9dac4e6 7f1b1b6 Author: Jenkins <jenk...@review.openstack.org> Date: Fri Mar 15 22:18:26 2013 +0000 Merge "Revert 1154253 causes XenServer image compat issue" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1155842/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yahoo-eng-team Post to : yahoo-eng-team@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yahoo-eng-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
