[Bug 1597502] [NEW] Windows ISO won't detect ephemeral drive with virtio driver

 

Public bug reported:

Environment:

Fuel 9.0 deployed Mitaka, ceph backs everyone except ephemeral drives.

Procedure:

Download en_windows_server_2012_r2_x64_dvd_2707946.iso from MSDN.

Download https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-
downloads/latest-virtio/virtio-win.iso

Extract contents of en_windows_server_2012_r2_x64_dvd_2707946.iso to
C:\Images\ISO

Extract contents of virtio-win.iso (virtio-win-0.1.118.iso) to C:\Images
\virtio-win-0.1.118

copy virtio-win-0.1.118/ folder into .\ISO folder.

Run the following command:

oscdimg -n -m -bc:\Images\ISO\boot\etfsboot.com C:\Images\ISO C:\Images\en_windows_server_2012_r2_x64_dvd_
2707946_Openstack.iso

At this point if I look at the contents of en_windows_server_2012_r2_x64_dvd_
2707946_Openstack.iso I see a folder inside with the name "virtio-win-0.1.118" (which contains all of the virtio drivers).

Upload image to OS through Horizon. Boot a VM with Horizon, when the
Windows installation asks "Where do you want to install Windows?" the
box is blank (there is no disk drive detected to install the OS). I
select "Load driver" select "Browse..." select the virtio driver
viostor\2k12R2\amd64 no driver is found. If I uncheck the box that says
"Hide drivers that aren't compatible with this computer's hardware." I
see "Red Hat VirtIO SCSI controller (D:\VIRTIO-
WIN-0.1.118\VIOSTOR\2k12R2\AMD64\VIOSTOR.INF)" show up. If I click
"Next" it installs the driver but I still see a blank box on where to
install the operating system.

>From everything I can find the virtio drivers are the correct drivers I
need for Windows to install on OS.
