version of the driver?

Comment 2 Itamar Heim 2013-08-12 04:07:49 UTC

lev - did you see something similar? is it an install issue or should be moved to kvm group?

I tested it with Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard 64 bit (Build 3790.srv03_sp2_rtm.070216-1710 : Service Pack 2) , and I had no issues with either installing the driver as part of the Windows Guest Tools, or having a new drive being recognized.

As matter of fact I was even able to add a new disk while the OS was up and running, even though the recognition of the new disk is not instant like it normally happens under Windows 7 for instance, but takes about a minute to become recognizable to OS (through Rescan Disks of Disk Management).

Dusan:

Even without any Virtio-SCSI drives attached to the VM, the Virtio-SCSI Controller should be visible to the OS, as the device is normally created for all VMs under RHEV 3.3.

Before the driver installation it appears as SCSI Controller, and after the driver is properly installed it must appear as Red Hat VirtIO SCSI pass-through controller, under SCSI and RAID controllers in Device Manager.

Do you see it there ? Does it have a properly installed driver ?

wasnt able to reproduce on the newest is, marking as not a bug to avoid confusion
