Can't get a VM to boot into Windows repair CD

Hi,

I can’t get a VM to boot in to a Windows repair CD (see the template below). It insists on trying to boot into the damaged Windows system disk. If I delete the disk from the template it boots into the CD fine, so the CD image is working. I’ve also made the system disk be a data disk.I can’t understand what I am doing wrong. I am running OpenNebula 4.12.1.

  Regards,

Hi,

I solved the issue. The VNC console ask to press any key to boot from CD. I was missing this and the VM progressed on to try to boot from the damaged system disk.
