[one-users] ONE templates for Windows on XEN

[Ruben S. Montero]

In case this helps, I am posting the template I am using for
WindowsXP + KVM in our OpenNebula cloud (it has the DISK for the
installation using the iso, and the normal runs):

Cheers

Ruben

# VM definition example

NAME = winxp

CPU    = 0.50
MEMORY = 512

# --- kernel & boot device ---

#OS = [ boot = "cdrom" ]
OS = [ boot = "hd" ]

FEATURES = [ acpi = "no" ]

# --- 1 disks ---

DISK = [
  source   = "/home/ruben/Virtual/images/winxp/winxp.img",
  target   = "hda",
  clone    = "no" ]
