[SOLVED] Migrating Hyper-V (VHDX) to Proxmox - adding virtio/scsi controller drivers

[jaceqp]

Howdy.
I've successfully imported an Hyper-V vhdx drive to Proxmox vm using "qm import"...
Newly created VM disk set as IDE controller boots VM os with no problems, but I wonder how to add other virtio/scsi drivers into VM os (win2k8r2, win2012, win2016), so I can use that disk in more efficient way...

I've tried forcing driver installation from virtio iso under vm windows os, but usually says "unable to proceed that type of installation" or something (when trying rmb ->install an .inf driver file.

Assuming adding a virtio driver is one thing, modifying registry (boot devices) is another issue...

Any tested solutions on that?

I can do some modifications on HyperV before I convert vmhd to Proxmox (if needed).

 

[spirit]

add a second temporary disk (like 1G), with virtio or virtio-scsi,

then go to device manager, right click on unknown controller, and choose driver from virtio iso

I guess I was thinking too much. It really works (at least on win2k8 R2). Thanks for the tip...
