HI, I have the problem to have the VM started and wanting to mount the windows 10 image inside of it to install and then the machine says:
No disk found , so like in the image:


And when I want to look at what harddrive I have installed then it shows the local lvm as SSD emulation.

The storage of this is showing:
v1vZqYv.png

the content tab of another storage lvm2 will say like: mkdir /dev/vg0/heavyload1: File exists at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Storage/DirPlugin.pm line 108. (500)

AM now first trying to install the virtIOscsi drivers first. I first expected they will be installed like during windows installation cause drivers.
 
Add a second CD drive and attach the latest Virtio ISO to it. Then during installation you can click on the Load Driver (Treiber Laden) button.

The driver should be in the `vioscsi` directory. After the driver is loaded you should see the disk.

Hi, did You mean to do this as a possible solution for the lvm thin which isnt working nowhere?
Am not sure if I created the LVM thin correctly. that is why am asking.
My storages are:
local
local-lvm
local2 (inactive)
storageprox
Am pretty sure, that I so far couldnt activate the local2 DIRECTORY. Did not find any hint or so, how to do it.
Cause my shell spits out the following:
Bash: 
root@ghost0 ~ # pvesm status
mkdir /dev/vg0/heavyload1: File exists at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Storage/DirPlugin.pm line 107.
Name               Type     Status           Total            Used       Available        %
local               dir     active        26769660        15225300        10295496   56.88%
local-lvm       lvmthin     active       104857600         9688842        95168757    9.24%
local2              dir   inactive               0               0               0    0.00%
storageprox         dir     active        26769660        15225300        10295496   56.88%

Please look at this line: mkdir /dev/vg0/heavyload1: File exists at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Storage/DirPlugin.pm line 107. I havent found anything useful while researching the net.
Look:

For any help am very grateful.
Thank you upfront.

Yeah. I did see the disc inside. I had already entered the desktop and then changed in "options" in the host setting on the node, some settings. I think afterwards the VM was gone. SImply gone. So far I couldnt find anything in logs or tasks. EDIT: I surely found out, why I couldnt see the VM anymore, cause of the one admin type I was logged in it has Linux PAM as authentication method.
I also see that particular admin, with which I was logged in, has Permission for VMadmin, just simply its not his realm.
clever stuff, I think. EDIT FINISH.

But also the rest of virtio drivers are needed, right?
Like here:
Repeat the process for other VirtIO drivers

EDIT 2: I can see, that during research one can also be coming to ends finally: One Step installation of VitrtIO Drivers

is what I all can see about whats going on, why the One volume is not becoming active.
 
And I did it like in the pve docs:

To make it always accessible add the following line in /etc/fstab.


Bash: 
# echo '/dev/pve/vz /var/lib/vz ext4 defaults 0 2' >> /etc/fstab
But the thing is not accessible

Try to change type of Hard Disk to IDE
Click to expand...
This solution worked for me. I had to fight to get the VM shut down, remove the disk, and add a new one (IDE) and it showed up when installing as an available target disk.
 
Idem ici, install sous Proxmox et IDE fonctionne mais l'option standard, SCSI je crois ? ne fonctionnait pas
idem pôur le réseau, j'ai déclaré un realtek et c'est connecté

same for the network, I declared a realtek and it is connected

Hi @bemo47 , the procedure below has always worked for us:

The driver should be in the `vioscsi` directory. After the driver is loaded you should see the disk.

And with a recent Proxmox VE version, the GUI should now offer a second CD drive in the VM create wizard directly if you choose Windows as guest OS

Thanks, its working for the HDD, but using IDE was working also.
And i have the same for the network, no network connected but if i change from virtio to Realtek for example it works.
Maybe i should also install a virtio network driver ?
 
If you use a somewhat recent virtio ISO, there should be an installer that will install all the virtiIO drivers and services (guest agent, ballooning). Otherwise you will have to manually install the drivers as they are needed.

And yes, if you want to use the virtio network device, the drivers need to be installed too as Windows doesn't have them out of the box :)
