#Bsnes not recognizing controller install#

So, I would expect the process to work like this:Ĭreate a VM, install an OS that supports hot add (this is actually key), install the Integration Components, patch.Īdd your disk to the hypervisor. And I am wondering if at this point in time more damage has been done than fixing (it happens in the task of troubleshooting). Quite honestly, this entire thing has gotten way more involved than it should be. I hope I answered your responses in a useful manner. This action did not cause an error stating 'Device cannot start' however,

Have to add a virtual SCSI bus before you can add VHDs to one' I assume you mean add the SCSI controller under the 'Add Hardware' menu in the Guest VM settings.Īnother avenue of approach that I have tried is to manual update/change the driver of the attached SCSI hard drive in the Guest VM to the 'Microsoft iSCSI Initiator' driver. By the way this driver does already exists in the guest VM under 'Storage Controllers' in the Device

However, when doing so I receive anĮrror stating 'This device cannot start' I did notice that the driver supplied is simply called 'Storage miniport driver' and no where does it state 'SCSI'.

I did this by updating the drivers of the SCSI hard drive located under 'Other devices' in the Device Manager. msi file that contains the drivers and tried to manually add the driver to the Guest VM. I should also state the VM Guest is located on a Windows 2008 R2 Core serverĪnd being managed by another Windows 2008 R2 server.Īs stated before I have ran through the 'Integration Services Setup' accessed through the 'Action' menu when connected to the Guest VM.

The mounted hard disk IS one of the external 2TB hard drives. SCSI controller and mounted a Physical hard disk as described in the pass through link supplied by VR38DETT. In the settings of the VM Guest I have added a Currently, I have an external hard drive attached to the VM Host with four 2TB hard drives connected via USB, each hard drive is its own partition. I should have mentioned more details of the setup I am using. Also, I apologize ahead of time if I do not answer your responses 100%. Layer being completely transparent passing all SCSI traffic to device AS IS?įirst, Thank you for your responses they are greatly appreciated. Biggest question is - do you need just raw capacity from this device or do you want virtualization You may wish to add your disk as a pass-throu one, just follow this guide step-by-step:

I have ran the 'Integration Services Setup'Īs you can see I have tried a number of suggestions I have seen on this forum and others but with no luck.

In the settings of the VM under 'Integration Services' there is no SCSI option.

If I go to 'Devices and Printers' it shows under the 'Unspecified' category but I cannot open it.

Under properties of the drive the driver is 'Unknown'.

Under other it shows the HD name then 'SCSI Disk Device'.

While looking under Device Manager the drive shows under 'Other'.

The drive does not show up in Explorer or under Disk Management.

The host machine is Windows Server 2008 R2 as I am trying to add a SCSI Drive to a Windows Server 2008 R2 VM and the VM is not recognizing it.
