CloudStack and Windows 2008 R2 SCSI Disk Controller issue
CloudStack/CloudPlatform 4.3 defaults to LSI Logic Parallel and we need
to use LSI Logic SAS when windows VMs are created.
Would anyone know if there is a way to override the controller through
vm_details table and preset the controller to use there?
Right now it takes the options of scsi and ide, i've tried changing it
to osdefault (which should have addressed the issue, but it appears we
are still defaulting to LSI Logic Parallel)
osdefault for Windows 2008 R2 ESXi 5.1+ should be set to LSI Logic Parallel
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks

Try UserVmManagerImpl.java and VmwareResource.java.

In 4.2, which was the last version we used with VMware, it was in
plugins/hypervisors/vmware/src/com/cloud/hypervisor/vmware/manager/VmwareStorageManagerImpl.java
However, it seems to have been refactored and I can't see it with the bare
eye at the moment for newer versions.

As per dev team from citrix, to get this to work:
change rootDiskController to osdefault - when importing the template and
bump up windows version to 2012 (while running 2008R2 guest).
cloudmonkey example:
> register template format=ova hypervisor=vmware
url=http://somehost.com/windows/2008R2_Sysprep-v6.ova ispublic=true
isfeatured=true passwordenabled=false
details[0].rootDiskController=osdefault details[0].nicAdapter=E1000
details[0].keyboard=us details[0].keyboard.typematicMindelay=2000000
ostypeid=168 zoneid=-1 displaytext=Windows-2008-R2-v6
name=Windows-2008-R2-v6

Sateesh had a session about it during CCCEU, he might be able to update the

Windows 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1 (and possibly Windows 2008 R2) won't have
the disk controller, and thus won't boot or otherwise be able to access the
disk(s).

So just for clarification, we're saying if a VM is a windows VM, and on
VMware, you cannot attach disks, correct?

Would you know where in the code? Looked around, could not find the place.

Been a known problem for a long time, only known workaround that I know of
is to change the controller in the code but that would change it for all
your vms.

Try registering the template as Windows Server 2008 (without the R2) instead and see if that fixes it.
