tmp folder is enough for this portable qemu-kvm. Note: My WSI $10 box have second HDD so just I put my ISO inside it.ĭownload the ISO to /mnt folder: wget -P /mnt ĭownload and extract the portable qemu-kvm. Or if we have RAM less than 8GB, we just need to creating small partition, put the ISO file there and don't touch it during Windows installations. Need big RAM on this case (depend on the ISO size). If you need temporary folder for the ISO. Let say we want to install the Windows in /dev/sdaĭd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M count=1 Open the SSH console using the password provided. Previously I've asked them via their ticket system to add Grml (because of KVM module already enabled) and finally now they add it on their reload OS options, nice! Start the Windows installation on WSIįirst reload the OS and choose Grml. Such a waste if we snap a preconfigured servers with more than 4GB RAM.
The Sysrcd lack of KVM module and it can only install 32 Bit OS (tested on WSI).
KVM services are not provided for preconfigured servers.īut WSI provide SystemRescueCD and we can install Windows or any other OS using QEMU w/o KVM support. Operating system options for preconfigured systems are limited to available selections on order form. Preconfigured servers hardware (CPU/RAM/HDD) or bandwidth cannot be added or modified. Preconfigured Servers Cannot be Modified: Our preconfigured servers are designed for quick deployment. WSI has Core2Duo box $10/month and they don't provide KVM services for their preconfigured server.
Install Windows on any WSI preconfigured server To speedup all of things, we can check if the machine and the rescue system support KVM or not by doing this: /tmp/kvm-ok tmp/qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic -net user,hostfwd=tcp::3389-:3389 -m 2048M -localtime -enable-kvm -cpu host,+nx -M pc -smp 2 -vga std -usbdevice tablet -k en-us -cdrom /mnt/win8-64.iso -hda /dev/sda -boot once=d -vnc :1 # Download and extract the portable qemu-kvm to /tmp folder tmp and execute the qemu-kvm from there. Portable here means we do not need to install it inside the rescue system but we just need to extract it inside the temporary folder, eg. We just need to use the portable qemu-kvm. Is this possible to install Windows using the rescue system? The short answer is Yes.
