Change SCSI type in VMware
Hi Guys,
One of our users is trying to use Windows Server 2012 R2.
On install they can't see the disk attached. I checked and it looks like
Microsoft removed the LSI Logic Parallel driver from that OS. Changing the
storage adapter to LSI Logic SAS should work (and does work in VMware). In
CloudStack there is no option for this. I see a feature open for it:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-4787
Does anyone have a workaround? Even if I change the value in VMware, when
CloudStack powers the instance on, it changes back to Parallel.
I'd really like to offer support for the latest Operating Systems in
CloudStack and was wondering if anyone else was hit by the same issue?
Cheers,
Sean

Hi Sateesh,
Thanks for picking this up.
I tried editing the SCSI type in the VM, but CloudStack changes it back when the VM is started.
Thanks,
Sean

Sean,
I have picked up this task, CLOUDSTACK-4787.
By early next week, I will comeup with proposal to support subtypes of scsi disk controllers in CloudStack for vSphere.
>Is there a workaround for this issue?
I think yes. Try changing the controller type to Lsi Logic SAS and start the VM to continue the installation from ISO.
Please let me know how it goes.

I change the ticket to a 'Bug' and added 4.3 has a branch where the problem exists.
It should give it some visibility in JIRA.
Hopefully a fix soon

I haven't been able to find a workaround yet.
I did take a look in eclipse and noticed that the vmware jars do have the
appropriate setting for it, it's just a matter of adding it to the
cloudstack ui, storing and using it.
However, that's out of my league.
