KVM | Loading Additional Volume | Windows
Per: Sebastien.
Hello,
I have obtained drivers for this to work via KVM, however; uncertain how to complete this. The links I have reviewed:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/kvm/files/kvm-guest-drivers-windows/2/
http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/WindowsGuestDrivers/Download_Drivers
https://launchpad.net/kvm-guest-drivers-windows/+download
Anyone have experience with this?

Are you creating a new data disk to attach, or is it an existing data
disk? If the data disk was previously attached to a VM on a different
hypervisor, you won't be able to attach it to the new VM. Besides that,
I'm not sure what else would cause this problem.
Best regards,
Kirk

I under what you are saying, however, I have loaded Windows (well I redeployed my Cloud Stack tonight) but last night, I had a Windows 2008 R2 64Bit Instance installed and going strong. I powered it down, because I thought perhaps I would then be able to see the instance to add the volume (data disk) however no luck. Online / Offline, I cannot attach a data disk to windows; the only thing that I can attach it to is Linux instances I already have on.
I must admit, last night I was running CS 3.0.2 -- now i am running 4.0 -- I will throw a Windows Instance online and see if this version allows me to do what I want to do.

If you are performing an ISO installation in CloudStack, you cannot add
an extra data disk until after the VM is initially created.
Template-based deployments allow you to deploy the VM with one data disk.
If you have an existing VM, you can attach data disks to it. Here is a
screen shot.

Hi there Kirk,
Okay, when I load up Windows 2008 R2 on a small drive. Then add a new DATA disk, I have no choice to add it to the Windows Instance, however; I can add it to any and all Linux Flavors without issue.
There has to be a step I am missing… ?

Hi, Maurice. When you add a data disk to a Windows VM for the first
time, a new SCSI controller will be added to the VM and Windows will
prompt for the driver. In the wizard, select the driver for the Windows
version, and after it's installed you can use the newly added disk.
Best regards,
Kirk
