Hello, I've tried to virtualize our first Windows server in KVM, and the box keeps shutting down sporadically. I'm not a Windows admin, but the Event Viewer has thousands of messages like this \Device\Scsi\Sym_hi1, did not respond within the timeout period.

Code: 
proxmox:~# pveversion -vpve-manager: 1.9-26 (pve-manager/1.9/6567)
running kernel: 2.6.32-6-pve
proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 1.9-50
pve-kernel-2.6.24-8-pve: 2.6.24-16
pve-kernel-2.6.32-6-pve: 2.6.32-50
qemu-server: 1.1-32
pve-firmware: 1.0-14
libpve-storage-perl: 1.0-19
vncterm: 0.9-2
vzctl: 3.0.29-3pve1
vzdump: 1.2-16
vzprocps: 2.0.11-2
vzquota: 3.0.11-1
pve-qemu-kvm: 0.15.0-1
ksm-control-daemon: 1.0-6

It's a Proxmox 1.9 host with a 32GB raw SCSI disk, an Intel e1000 nic, 2 CPU sockets with 1 core, and 2.25 GB of RAM. I'm sure more info is needed, but as I said, I'm not a Windows admin, so any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply :) Just so I know, do I just remove the scsi disk from the web interface, and then add the disk back as an IDE disk? I assume I must need to edit the vm configuration file to make this change, because I don't see it in the web interface.

Here's my current conf file.
Code: 
ostype: w2k8memory: 2304
sockets: 2
onboot: 1
name: windows2008
ide2: none,media=cdrom
vlan0: e1000=6E:31:DF:87:50:63
bootdisk: scsi0
scsi0: local:107/vm-107-disk-1.raw
cores: 1

Thank you very much for the very quick responses. I've made the changes to the configuration file and restarted. Hopefully, the sporadic crashes are a thing of the past.
 
I suggest you move to virtio.
