Dear All,
i cannot build a windows 2003 r2 64 bit vm on my VI3.
I have virtualcenter 2.0.2 and esx 3.0.2 (and 3.0.1)
MY HOST SERVERS ARE 64 BIT COMPATIBLE and i currently have numerous 64 bit vm's built from a template i did ages ago.
Now, creating a new vm and booting form the windows cd of iso, starts, but hangs at the "setup is starting windows" screen. Nothing happens.
Any ideas why this might be?
Interestingly, if i boot a vm created from my old 64 bit template and get it to boot from windows 2003 cd and/or iso, it works fine and i can carry out a fresh install of windows 2003 r2 64 bit. The problem only exists when i have created a brand new vm from scratch and try to install windows.
Has there been any updates to esx 3.0.x that my have altered the configuration of a new virtual machine?
Any advice gratefully recieved!
Many thanks
