Hello,
I get often asked by customers how to install the virto drivers before the migration in a way that they can be immediatly be used with virtio scsi single devices without an intermediary boot using an ide drive and an empy virtio scsi single device. And today we solved the issue in a qskills proxmox training. The trick is: Device Manager > Add legacy hardware > Next > (*) Install the hardware ... > Storage Controllers > Have Disk > d:\amd64\2k25\vioscsi (.inf) > Red Hat Virtio SCSI pass-through controller. You can than immediatly delete delete the device again: Red Hat VirtIO SCSI pass-through controller > Uninstall device > Uninstall (Do *not* check Attempt to remove the driver for this device because than you end up with the usual blue screen). We then vibecoded everything we needed to perform an automated migration: Put the drivers for virtio scsi and virtio scsi single device, install virtio drivers, install qemu agent, uninstall vmware tools, document the network settings and put all network cards per dhcp.
