There is another issue , I was able to upload image to MAAS server and even deploy it by manually compressing .vhdx to .tgz using tar command . Now there is a new issue that comes up . When I boot my newly installed server with windows OS , its runs into bsod "Your PC ran into problems , system will be rebooted automatically " . What I am missing here ?

ader1990 commented 4 years ago

You need to go on the baremetal server producer site and check if there are some required drivers that need to be installed on Windows. The issue you presented seems like the storage driver is missing. After you find the driver or the installation executable you can use the https://github.com/cloudbase/windows-openstack-imaging-tools/blob/master/Config.psm1#L112 to configure the path from where to install that driver.

@karanveersingh5623 more info for how to deal with bsod: https://github.com/cloudbase/windows-openstack-imaging-tools#i-booted-an-instance-with-the-image-and-i-got-a-bsod

ader1990 commented 4 years ago

The initial issues were solved either via a configuration fix or a code fix (diskLayout variable is set correctly now). @karanveersingh5623 did you manage to successfully boot the instance?

ader1990 commented 4 years ago

Closing the issue, as there was no recent response / activity.
