KVM VM's with SCSI disk type DONOT start

[pardeep]

After upgrading to Proxmox VE 2.0 RC1, none of the KVM VM's with SCSI disk type start up and run.
Anybody else seen this issue?

Yes, the Qemu/KVM team decided to remove boot support for SCSI disks. I suggest you use ide or virtio instead.

Workaround,

edit your vm config file, and add :
args: -option-rom 8xx_64.rom,bootindex=1

then download
http://www.lsi.com/downloads/Public/Host Bus Adapters/Host Bus Adapters Common Files/lsi_bios.zip
and extract 8xx_64.rom to /usr/share/kvm/

start your vm, it must boot

Not sure if this is the same issue that I had but here's what I had to do:

1. Download http://www.lsi.com/downloads/Public/Host Bus Adapters/Host Bus Adapters Common Files/lsi_bios.zip
2. Unzip it
3. Move the 8xx_64.rom file to /usr/share/kvm
4. Add this line to the VM config file:

args: -option-rom 8xx_64.rom,bootindex=1



Hope that helps.

Cheers,
K!
