Example: Microsoft Windows image
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
This example creates a Windows Server 2012 qcow2 image,
|
|
using the :command:`virt-install` command and the KVM hypervisor.
|
|
|
|
#. Follow these steps to prepare the installation:
|
|
|
|
#. Download a Windows Server 2012 installation ISO.
|
|
Evaluation images are available on the `Microsoft website
|
|
<http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/
|
|
evaluate-windows-server-2012>`_ (registration required).
|
|
#. Download the signed VirtIO drivers ISO from the
|
|
`Fedora website <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/
|
|
Windows_Virtio_Drivers#Direct_download>`_.
|
|
#. Create a 15 GB qcow2 image:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 ws2012.qcow2 15G
|
|
|
|
#. Start the Windows Server 2012 installation with the
|
|
:command:`virt-install` command:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
# virt-install --connect qemu:///system \
|
|
--name ws2012 --ram 2048 --vcpus 2 \
|
|
--network network=default,model=virtio \
|
|
--disk path=ws2012.qcow2,format=qcow2,device=disk,bus=virtio \
|
|
--cdrom /path/to/en_windows_server_2012_x64_dvd.iso \
|
|
--disk path=/path/to/virtio-win-0.1-XX.iso,device=cdrom \
|
|
--vnc --os-type windows --os-variant win2k8
|
|
|
|
Use :command:`virt-manager` or :command:`virt-viewer` to
|
|
connect to the VM and start the Windows installation.
|
|
|
|
#. Enable the VirtIO drivers.
|
|
|
|
The disk is not detected by default by the Windows installer.
|
|
When requested to choose an installation target, click
|
|
:guilabel:`Load driver` and browse the file system to select
|
|
the ``E:\WIN8\AMD64`` folder. The Windows installer displays
|
|
a list of drivers to install. Select the :guilabel:`VirtIO SCSI` and
|
|
:guilabel:`network drivers` and continue the installation.
|
|
|
|
Once the installation is completed, the VM restarts.
|
|
Define a password for the administrator when prompted.
|
|
|
|
#. Log in as administrator and start a command window.
|
|
|
|
#. Complete the VirtIO drivers installation by running the
|
|
following command:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
C:\pnputil -i -a E:\WIN8\AMD64\*.INF
|
|
|
|
#. To allow the :term:`Cloudbase-Init` to run scripts during an instance
|
|
boot, set the PowerShell execution policy to be unrestricted:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
C:\powershell
|
|
C:\Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
|
|
|
|
#. Download and install the ``Cloudbase-Init``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
C:\Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing http://www.cloudbase.it/downloads/CloudbaseInitSetup_Stable_x64.msi -OutFile cloudbaseinit.msi
|
|
C:\.\cloudbaseinit.msi
|
|
|
|
In the :guilabel:`configuration options` window,
|
|
change the following settings:
|
|
|
|
* Username: ``Administrator``
|
|
* Network adapter to configure: ``Red Hat VirtIO Ethernet Adapter``
|
|
* Serial port for logging: ``COM1``
|
|
|
|
When the installation is done, in the
|
|
:guilabel:`Complete the Cloudbase-Init Setup Wizard` window,
|
|
select the :guilabel:`Run Sysprep` and :guilabel:`Shutdown`
|
|
check boxes and click :guilabel:`Finish`.
|
|
|
|
Wait for the machine shutdown.
