Re: [ovirt-users] HP ProLiant ML10 v2 or ML110 Gen9 with Windows Server Essentials 2012 R2 guest

Once upon a time, gregor <gregor_forum(a)catrix.at&gt; said: I just went through trying to get Windows Server 2012 Essentials (both "original" and R2) running on a cluster with Nehalem CPUs, and it would blue-screen during install. I replicated the problem on my Fedora desktop with plain KVM set up to emulate a Nehalem CPU. When I switched to Westmere or newer, Windows worked. This appears to be some difference between Essentials and Standard edition (I am running Windows Server 2012 Standard VMs on my cluster just fine). A co-worker searching around on the Internet also found some VirtualBox users having similar issues with Essentials. So, with Westmere or newer CPU, I think Essentials should be okay, but don't try it with Nehalem. -- Chris Adams <cma(a)cmadams.net&gt;
