large images handling
Hello! I have an ESXi host (VMware), Openstack compute and controller nodes are deployed as its VM's. I can successfully create VM's with my ubuntu and cirros images.
But the problem is that I can not launch an instance with my manually created Windows image - VMDK file with 40G file size. I can see that the VM is created and resources are allocated in vCenter client, but, I guess, it crushes at importing my image. Openstack dashboard show instance as "spawning", and nova list shows this for 3 hours by now:
1eaa6d1d-88b2-4986-83d8-18bda1ae43d0 | ws | BUILD | spawning | NOSTATE | geos-net=86.232.26.15
Image was created with following options:
--disk-format=vmdk --property vmware_adaptertype="ide" --property vmware_disktype="sparse" --is-public=True --property vmware_ostype="windows7Server64Guest" --container-format=bare
Is it because of the image size? Logs are clean, so I have no idea why it happens.
