Bug Description
After creating an win2k8r2 64bit instance, it can't boot and there is no drivers for ethernet adapter card.
The problem is in disk adapter type, which is configurated in *.vmx file "scsi0.virtualDev = "lsilogic""
Windows 7 or greater does not support this adapter to resolve this I had to change script: /usr/lib/
113 'ns0:VirtualLsi
to
113 'ns0:VirtualLsi
and restart nova-compute.
Another thing is network adapter type "VirtualPCNet32". There is no windows(7 or greater) drivers for this card. To resolve this change line 130 in the same script.
130 net_device = client_
to
130 net_device = client_
