[pve-devel] [PATCH manager 1/2] virtio-scsi-pci as default SCSI for new VMS fix #1106

[Caspar Smit]

Ok, but since the scsihw: 'virtio-scsi-pci' is set at the generic OSdefault
template and the w2k OSdefaults has a parent generic, doesn't that inherit
all settings from generic? Why else does it need a parent?

As i read the code the 'w2k' OSdefaults are:

busType: 'ide' (from generic parent)
scsihw: 'virtio-scsi-pci' (from generic parent)
networkCard: 'rtl8139' (from w2k template, overriding e1000 from generic)

So creating a w2k VM will use IDE as default for disks so everything works,
BUT when you change IDE to SCSI you have to change the SCSI Controller too
(virtio-scsi-pci is not compatible with W2K). Wouldn't it be better to have
a 'sane' default SCSI controller for w2k?


Kind regards,
Caspar Smit
