Public bug reported:
Windows guests within a XenServer environment currently do not have the
ability to properly have ConfigDrive attached unless the environment has
its nova.conf set up as:
config_drive_format=vfat
This issue ultimately results from this value being defaulted to ISO9660
(CDFS) and the VBD object being used for it being a disk (the
nova.virt.xenapi.vm_utils.create_vbd default). After testing, While the
VBD is attached without issue and in the proper stateI was unable to get
this drive to show up within Windows at all. I was unable to see the
drive detected within the GUI, or within Windows Powershell.
This can be addressed by detecting the nova.conf configuration setting,
and adjusting the VBD attach accordingly. I will be submitting a
follow-up commit shortly.
