So, preface:
We're a manufacturing company with about ~400 Windows VMs, spread across about 10 different site and locations. We're experimenting with Proxmox, and I like what I see. I'm primarily a linux guy, but I can work my way around windows. I have several guys around me who are wizards with windows, but none of them have had much luck.
The issue:
I can migrate a single VM from Vmware to proxmox, no problem. The issue is with the SCSI adapter - The whole "Add a disk, change to sata, boot up, install drivers, activate SCSI disk, shut down, swap to SCSI, boot up" works in a small scale, but that's a LOT of manual work for the large scale. I've got the drivers installed beforehand with no issue, windows just isn't picking them up(unless you do the aforementioned "boot as sata" trick.) All my digging has just found lots of ways to fix this, after the migration, manually. Is there a way to pre-prep the windows environment so that on the first boot, with no manual intervention, it'll swap over to the correct SCSI driver?
