[one-users] Windows server 2012 virtio issue

[Carlo Daffara]

We use the following procedure:
- your VM has images in hd or sd
- add to the template a small empty 10MB datablock of type VD, and add the CD with the drivers (unless you have a disk of type VD, windows
will not let you add a new driver)
- go in the Hardware manager control panel, you will find two new devices with the yellow triangle
- right click on them, add driver and point to the CD for the drivers. You will find them in WIN8\AMD64; select all three offered drivers (by pressing the CTRL button) "Red Hat VirtIO SCSI controller, Redhat VirtIO NIC and Red Hat Balloon driver"
- reboot, check that all drivers are installed
- stop the VM, change the template disks with VD for the windows disks
- reboot and you're set!

As a side note, I install the virtio nic drivers but tend to use the Intel e1000 drivers as I found them more stable with win2012, your mileage may vary.
cheers,

Thats the point, win setup finds no drives, even after loading the virtio drivers...
