[SOLVED] Adding Windows-Image to virtual CD/DVD drive

[Alex Fuchs]

Hello,

my Proxmox 4.3.1 does work perfectly so far.
All the VM´s as well as the .iso-Images are on a mounted on a local storage.

The problem is that I can´t add a Windows .ios-file to a already existing virtual CD/ DVD drive.
I tried it with WinServ2012R2, WinServ2016 and Windows10.
There is no error message or anything else, it just doesn´t work.

With Linux (Debian 8, Ubuntu 14.04.5) there are no problems at all.
(While creating the VM (tried it with several VM´s) I selected WinServ12/10 as OS.)

Have you ever had any problems like this one?

Thanks in advance for your help.

what exactly do you mean by "it just doesn't work"? can you post a screeshot?

I uploaded the proxmox.zip file which is containing several screenshots.

As you can see in the screenshots, there is no error-message or something like that.
It´s working with:
CD/DVD drive as SATA: Debian/Ubuntu/CentOS/SLES12
CD/DVD drive as IDE: Debian/Ubuntu/CentOS/SLES12

It´s not working with:
CD/DVD drive as SATA: Windows7/10/Server2012R2/Server2016

Unfortunatelly I have no ideas, how I should continue at this point.

I have faced same problem some time, what I did, copy the Windows iso image with "WinSCP" to Promox "/var/lib/vz/template/iso" directory, you may try that or change the ISO with other.

please do not use spaces in the filename, then it should work

Thank you very much Dominik.

It seems that renaming the .iso-files completely fixed the problem.
