Due to a change in RHEL 6's kvm, A Windows guest with virtio disk driver from RHEV-2.2 would hang in the Blue Screen of Death on boot.
To avoid that, start up the guest with a custom property vioDiskCache=writethrough, install a newer virtio driver, and run the VM again with vioDiskCache custom property dropped.

the vioDiskCache does not exist.
Danken said that it might show as custom_something but I am not seeing that also.
I am seeing: 'boot': 'c', 'custom':
if this is the flag we are looking for please put bug in assigned - meanwhile I am moving back to assigned

It is the other way around. You pass 'custom': {}, which means NO custom property. Please set a custom property of viodiskcache=writethrough for this VM, and see what happens.
verified on ic119
the problem was that the viodiskcache is in all lower case letters and I tried adding it as VioDiskCache.
I can add this to the custom properties of the VM and can see it in vdsm log:
custom': {'viodiskcache': 'writethrough'}

Due to a change in RHEL 6, the 2.2 disk virtio driver causes Windows VMs to BSOD on boot. The solution is adding cache=writethrough to driver property. RHEV-M will pass custom property vioDiskCache=<type> ("none", "writethrough" and "writeback").
