Configdrive fails to properly display within Windows Guest (Xenapi)

[Brooks Kaminski]

Windows guests within a XenServer environment currently do not have the ability to properly have ConfigDrive attached unless the environment has its nova.conf set up as:

config_drive_format=vfat

This issue ultimately results from this value being defaulted to ISO9660 (CDFS) and the VBD object being used for it being a disk (the nova.virt.xenapi.vm_utils.create_vbd default). After testing, While the VBD is attached without issue and in the proper stateI was unable to get this drive to show up within Windows at all. I was unable to see the drive detected within the GUI, or within Windows Powershell.

This can be addressed by detecting the nova.conf configuration setting, and adjusting the VBD attach accordingly. I will be submitting a follow-up commit shortly.

Commit is running into an issue with the VDI throwing an ISO type error on VBD mount. Will look into it.

A question on the review was over whether cloudbase-init worked correctly, with John believing it should?
