[PVE-User] Getting Microsoft VHD working in Proxmox

[Rudiger Wolf]

Hi All

I am trying to create a KVM based virtual machine based on Microsoft 
supplied VHD to evaluate SharePoint2010. Consists of two VHDs, a = 45GB 
and b=13GB.

I converted VHD to qcow2 via
#qemu-img convert -O qcow2 20107a.vhd 20107a.qcow2

Then a created a Virtual machine 104 via browser console that seems to 
meet the specs for required server.

After that I moved the 20107a.qcow2 to image directory
#mv 20107a.qcow2 /var/lib/vz/images/104

Then I edited configuration for virtual server so that drive is attached 
to qcow2 image.

#nano /etc/qemu-server/104.conf

name: test2k8qcow2
ide2: cdrom,media=cdrom
vlan0: e1000=0A:B0:63:ED:18:01
bootdisk: ide0
ostype: w2k8
ide0: local:104/20107a.qcow2
memory: 4096
sockets: 2


Unfortunately it does not quite work :(

==This is what I see on the VNC console ===
