Unidentified Network - Win 7 virtual machine

Hi all,
I’m trying to deploy a working VM with WIN7 as OS. I’m able to create and to run it but I’m not able to get a working network setup.
I got the error “unidentified network” even if I configured all the correct parameters as you can see in the following:

CONTEXT = [
CONTEXT = “true”,
DISK_ID = “2”,
ETH0_CONTEXT_FORCE_IPV4 = “”,
ETH0_DNS = “10.8.28.1”,
ETH0_GATEWAY = “10.8.247.254”,
ETH0_GATEWAY6 = “”,
ETH0_IP = “10.8.244.138”,
ETH0_IP6 = “”,
ETH0_IP6_ULA = “”,
ETH0_MAC = “02:00:0a:08:f4:8a”,
ETH0_MASK = “255.255.252.0”,
ETH0_MTU = “”,
ETH0_NETWORK = “10.8.244.0”,
ETH0_SEARCH_DOMAIN = “”,
ETH0_VROUTER_IP = “”,
ETH0_VROUTER_IP6 = “”,
ETH0_VROUTER_MANAGEMENT = “”,
IMAGE = “Context”,
NETWORK = “YES”,
SSH_PUBLIC_KEY = “”,
TARGET = “hdb” ]

When I check the network properties, I found a different IPV4 values and even if I change them with the ones indicated in the context I still get the same error.

Could someone please give me some suggestions telling me what I’m doing wrong?

thanks in advance

Does it work with Linux VMs? if it does it’s definitely a problem in the Windows configuration. If you haven’t tried with linux VMs, please try it out, as they are easier to debug.

Back to the Windows problem, have you followed the documentation? Are you using the new context packages (they have an msi installer):
http://docs.opennebula.org/5.2/operation/vm_setup/context_overview.html

In any case, I would focus on getting it to work manually first.

Hi Jmelis,
I’m a newbie with OpneNebula. I was trying to use the tutorial here:

https://www.lrz.de/services/compute/cloud_en/cloud-cdrominstall_en/

what do you mean when you say "does it works with Linux VM?"
Another question I have is:
how should I use the *.msi file once I download it?

thanks in advance for your support and patience

cheers
