[SOLVED] Windows 2012 r2 - have not VirtIO disc on installation

[TomaszF]

Hello.

I'm new user Proxmox.

I trying install Windows 2012 r2 on VM.
Following the tutorial:
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Windows_2012_guest_best_practices

i made VM:

root@pve:~# qm config 100
bootdisk: virtio0
cores: 20
ide0: local:iso/virtio-win-0.1.164.iso,media=cdrom,size=362130K
ide2: local:iso/9600.17050.WINBLUE_REFRESH.140317-1640_X64FRE_SERVER_EVAL_EN-US-IR3_SSS_X64FREE_EN-US_DV9.ISO,media=cdrom
memory: 194560
name: WindowsServer
net0: virtio=F2:53:1B:69:47:BC,bridge=vmbr0
numa: 0
ostype: win8
scsihw: virtio-scsi-pci
smbios1: uuid=7cd84469-93c2-4e10-8c44-e69c7120a097
sockets: 2
virtio0: local-lvm:vm-100-disk-0,cache=writeback,size=300G
vmgenid: 142e7aed-40ef-4689-baf3-603417dc1bb8

and start that.

I have not any drivers on windows setup (I tried to load drivers from mounted virtio ISO /balloon/2k12R2/amd64/ - VirtIO Balloon Driver - but this not solve problem)

Hi there,
Use SCSI (VirtIO SCSI) for your disk type when creating the disk in the Proxmox GUI, and then from the VirtIO CD, use the drivers from the "vioscsi" folder.

Cheers,
Stuart.

After the changes you suggested, I can install the OS.

Thank You.
