kvm: bad scsi device lun: 1

Dear all,

hello, this is my first post. :)

I'm trying to import some Windows VMs from ESXi to a fully patched pve.
All these have pvscsi configured.

Import works well but as soon as adding a second disk to the vm the startup of these vms fails:

Code:
root@pve01:~# qm start 103
kvm: -device scsi-hd,bus=scsihw0.0,channel=0,scsi-id=0,lun=1,drive=drive-scsi1,id=scsi1: bad scsi device lun: 1

This only happens with pvscsi controller.

Maybe a bug?

Regards,
Rainer

can you post the vm config?
qm config ID
 
I was able to migrate ID 103 to virtio-scsi.

This is ID 105 which has the same problems:
Bash:
root@pve01:/dev/mapper# qm start 105
kvm: -device scsi-hd,bus=scsihw0.0,channel=0,scsi-id=0,lun=1,drive=drive-scsi1,id=scsi1: bad scsi device lun: 1

I have the same. My VM was working, but I installed (today) updates on PVE (wihout subscription). And stop all VMs.
After reboot only this VM didn't start.

Code:
root@vhs2:~# qm start 100
kvm: -device scsi-hd,bus=scsihw0.0,channel=0,scsi-id=0,lun=1,drive=drive-scsi1,id=scsi1: bad scsi device lun: 1

Hi,
this is currently an issue when scsihw: pvscsi is used with multiple disks. As a workaround until the problem is solved, use a different SCSI controller type. I've sent a preliminary fix for discussion to the developer mailing list.
