Install Eucalyptus Windows Integration

To install the Eucalyptus Windows Integration Service:

Note: The following step assumes you're running a recent version of Windows. If you're running Windows Server 2003, you'll need to download the legacy version of the Windows prep tool from: http://downloads.eucalyptus.com/software/tools/windows-prep/
If you're running a version of Windows more recent than Windows Server 2003, download the most recent version of the Windows Image Preparation Tool from http://downloads.eucalyptus.com/software/tools/windows-prep/ to /var/lib/libvirt/images on your NC.

Open the libvirt-kvm-windows-example.xml file you used in the previous section and make the following edits:

Comment out the lines of XML code directing the hypervisor to boot the Windows image from the CDROM.
Change the text so that windows-prep-tools-latest.iso replaces the Windows .iso image and is mounted as cdrom.
Enter the path to the secondary disk file you created in the previous task.
Uncomment the lines that direct attachment of a floppy disk, secondary disk, and secondary network interface.

Tip: If you plan on using virtio networking for instances (via USE_VIRTIO_NET option on node controllers), uncommenting the virtio interface in the xml is mandatory

Your finished file should look similar to the following example:

<domain type="kvm">

Start the VM.

cd /var/lib/libvirt/images/
virsh create libvirt-kvm-windows-example.xml

Log in to Windows and find the Eucalyptus installation files in the CDROM drive.
- For Windows Server 2003 R2, run setup.exe. This automatically installs the .NET framework 2.0, which is not bundled in Server 2003 R2.
- For all other versions, run EucalyptusWindowsIntegration.msi. (setup.exe will automatically install .NET framework 2.0, which is not bundled in Server 2003 R2).
In the Choose your hypervisor step, select KVM and then click Next.

Click Next and continue until the end of installation.
Reboot the Windows VM
Open the Windows device manager and check that the following drivers are found for each device.
- Floppy disk drive
- Disk drivers: Red Hat VirtIO SCSI Disk Device
- SCSI and RAID controllers: Red Hat VirtIO SCSI controller
- Network adapters: Red Hat VirtIO Ethernet Adapter
If the correct drivers are not found, question marks display on the devices. To install the devices, do the following:
- Right-click on the devices in question and select Update Drivers to open the New Hardware Wizard.
- When the new hardware wizard asks if Windows update is to be connected, click No, not this time.
- Choose Install software automatically (recommended).
- If a confirmation popup message displays, click Continue.
