You should not use vmware hdd this is only for conversion from an to vmware images.
For speed Raw is good but has no features.
Qcow2 is not so fast but has feature like snapshot, thin provisioning, cloneing.

This is strange! I never saw that on a system!
Do you use virtio for Nic and hdd?
if yes try a older/newer driver!

Wolfgang Thanks for your reply!!!!!!!!! ..

i dont use any virtio drivers ..
ive tried installing a centos and windows server 2008R2 and they are UP by morning but the 2 windows server 2012 are down .. is this possible that server 2012 i have isnt activated is only a trial version expired from microsoft may this issue can be a microsoft server 2012 restiction??? because maxium at 1 hour and 10 seconds vm are going to shutdown ..



i think ive found the solution ...


Q: About two weeks ago I installed the Windows Server 2012 R2 Evaluation Edition and now it’s begun shutting down every hour. I’m nowhere near the end of the 180 day evaluation period. Why is this happening and how can I make it stop?
A: The hourly shutdown is happening because the Windows Server 2012 R2 Evaluation Edition isn’t activated. You can activate the system using the slmgr.vbs –ato command. That will fix the problem with the system shutting down every hour.
