Hi all !
I use a windows 2008 server on Proxmox 1.1 with KVM.
I would like to create physicals drives in my Windows guest .
I used the proxmox tutorial and it works fine winth IDE interface.
But... I would like to create more than 3 or 4 hards drives...
How can i do it ?
Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad english (french)
Regards,
Pascal

in theory, you can add scsi/virtio drives but this in not stable for windows - there are drivers for vista/win2008 announced from the KVM project but not yet available.

for LInux guest, scsi and virtio works without any problems (if the guest kernel has the drivers included which is the case for virtio for all new OS - Ubuntu 8.04 and higher, centos 5.3, fedora 10 and higher,..)
 
Thank you for your answer, but it's only for a Windows guest...
I add a drive with SCSI interface, nothing appears in Windows, same result with VIRTIO
Do you know if there is a evolution with Proxmox 1.2 ?

no, the same with 1.2. the issue is on the windows guest. I confirm that on window2008 (i use the 2008r2 release candidate) no disk shown up in windows (scsi and virtio).

I'm not alone, thank you for the confirmation, i hope one day it will be possible.

Salut

tu dois les créer dans le gestionnaire de disque il sont ni partitionné ni formatté mais ils sont la, j'ai fais le test en proxmox 1.3.

Clic droit sur "poste de travail" et clic "gérer" j'imagine que tu sais deja mais on sait jamais ;)


J'espere t'avoir aidé
