Known issues

• Windows Server 2003 virtualization
  There is an issue with a new feature in this release that affects Windows Server 2003 only. To update the IP address in a running virtual machine in Live Mode, a service (axnicpersist) is injected into the system at boot time to perform these changes as the system starts. On Windows 2003, this service fails and repeatedly disables and enables the network adapter every 30 seconds or so. To work around this issue, simply stop and disable the axnicpersist service. This issue will be resolved in the next release.
• NFS exports
  With the new instant virtualization feature for virtual disk exports in this version, the generated virtual disks are currently read-only in this release. This means that the virtual disk cannot be used for live virtualization (for example, on an ESX host) directly from the appliance as in previous releases. You must copy the virtual disk to a read/write storage location first. Instant export virtual disks will be read/write in a future release to return this functionality. We apologize for this temporary inconvenience.
