Proxmox Virtio

[ejc317]

Hi,

We're using NOC-PS to create Proxmox VPS but for some reason both the NIC and the HD are VirtIO. This is an issue for some of the OS we deploy as the drivers are not available.

So 2 questions

1) Where are the official SIGNED server 2008 and 2012 VirtIO drivers for storage and network
2) Is there anyway to change the official deployment? (ie change network to e1000 intel and harddisk to sata?)

If have questions regardin noc-ps, you better ask the creator of noc-ps.

Modern Linux Kernels includes virtio drivers by default, for windows:

For the NOC-PS issue, all it is is creating a VP but the default network card and HD are both VirtIO - seems like a proxmox setting

I have VirtIO drivers but I need Signed drivers and they're for Server 2012 - which is not in those links?

No, we have no virtio by default. (its still ide/e1000)

The Fedora ISO contains all what you need. (use win8 folder).

I did use the Fedora ISO but the Windows AIK is saying these drivers are not signed ...

I personally never use AIK with 2012, but check http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Windows_guests_-_build_ISOs_including_VirtIO_drivers
