EC2 Windows 2008 VM import Not Working
- by remack
I am trying to upload a Windows 2008 SP2 server image to Amazon EC2, but once the process is complete, I can't connect to it.
I had ops export a VMDK from our
datacenter.
The image appeared to have a fixed
IP, so I loaded it in VMWare player
and enabled DHCP.
I uploaded it following amazon's
instructions:
http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/vmimport/
I start the new instance and try to
RDP to the public DNS; connection
fails.
My two thoughts are:
Loading it in VMWare player messed
it up somehow, since the
instructions say use an ESX image.
The image they made me had the wrong
network adapter type. The image has
an Intel(R) PRO/1000 MT adapter
using the E1G60I32.sys driver.
