[ovirt-users] Re: How to debug a failed Run Once launch

Can you give the exact error message or a screenshot? Check the engine.log as well for error messages.

This is Windows Server 2019 so I'm selecting: - General:Operating System = Windows 2019 x64 - System:Memory Size = 16GB - System:Total Virtual CPUs = 8 - BootOptions:First Device = CD-ROM - BootOptions:Second Device = Hard Disk Then in the Run Once config I'm attaching both the floppy and CD as well as updating the predefined boot sequence. When I installed the virtio-win package there are multiple VFD files in /usr/share/virtio-win/. I'm assuming the win_amd64.vfd version is for non-server Windows installs so I picked virtio-win_servers_amd64.vfd. Assuming that's all ok, it just seems to be a strange permissions issue...

I've followed the documentation and I'm using the Run Once option with the following boot options: Attach Floppy: virtio-win_servers_amd64.vfd Attach CD: Win 2029 ISO CD-ROM at top of Predefined Boot Sequence Clicking OK starts the VM but it immediately fails with a Failed Launching pop up. How do I go about debugging this? Shareef.
