February 3, 201511 yr I'm following the sticky at the top of this sub "[Guide] Create a Windows 7 VM with Xen on unRAID 6" Everything goes fine until after step 7. I connect with VNC to see the VM trying to boot but failing to find a boot device. The screen shows "Booting from cd/dvd" "Boot Failed: Could not read from CDROM (code 0004)". It continues to look for a hard drive, network boot, fails, then retries in 60 seconds. So it never boots off the Win7 iso so I can install windows. I've tested the iso and it appears to be ok. I presume I have a typo in a path or something but I can't find it. I believe I named everything exactly the same as in the guide. Here are my settings unRAID v6.0b12 From inside putty root@Tower:/mnt/cache/VMs/Windows7# dir Win7x64.iso Windows7.cfg Windows7.qcow2 Windows7.cfg name = "Windows7" builder = "hvm" # kernel = 'hvmloader' not needed. # device_model_version = "qemu-xen-traditional" deprecated. # You can adjust the vcpu and memory lines if you wish. vcpus = 2 memory = 4096 # Win7x64.iso is the name of my ISO, change it to whatever yours is named. # When your Windows 7 installation is complete, you can delete the reference to your ISO image below, which is this part: # , 'file:/mnt/cache/VMs/Windows7/Win7x64.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' disk = ['qcow2:/mnt/cache/VMs/Windows7/Windows7.qcow2,hda,w' , 'file:/mnt/cache/VMs/Windows7/Win7x64.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'] # Note: Your bridge name (br0) needs to match the bridge name in the unRAID network settings. vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:01:01:01,bridge=br0' ] # When your Windows 7 installation is complete, change this to "c" so you don't boot with the DVD. boot = "dc" acpi = '1' apic = '1' viridian = '1' xen_platform_pci = '1' sdl = '0' vnc = '1' # This is the IP address of your unRAID server. vnclisten = '10.0.0.22' vncpasswd = 'fire' stdvga=1 usb = '1' usbdevice = 'tablet' localtime = 1 on_poweroff = "destroy" on_reboot = "restart" on_crash = "destroy"
