Add scsi driver windows 2003

And I am wondering if at this point in time more damage has been done than fixing it happens in the task of troubleshooting. Add your disk to the hypervisor. If it mounts so that the system has control which ic what we want and the minority of devices , or if it only mounts in the logged on user space.

However, I do agree that my issue should not be this difficult, that is why I posted my issue. I am wondering if that is the secret to the whole thing. It does sound like a driver problem. However I would only expect it if you did not install the Integration Components into the VM - and you have stated that you did the "insert integration services setup disk" and I assumed you finished the installer at the VM console.

I am not presenting a single passthrough disk to multiple VMs at the same time but for testing reasons I am using the same passthrough on other VMs to see if I can get the SCSI to mount up to them. Of course I am sure everyone that troubleshoots for a living that in the course of troubleshooting you stumble upon other issues. When you brought up the OS I check to see if the Host had the latest windows updates, it did not. So I am currently updating the host and the VMs and will test again.

Once I have the results I will post back up. You mentioned "I assumed you finished the installer at the VM console", There was not really much of an installer. I ran the disk it popped up stating "A previous installation of Hyper-V integration services has been detected".

Then shows a quick load bar and said successfully installed. Then restart the computer. There was finishing the installer at a console. Is there something I may be missing there?

Simple Windows Disk management will overlook any presented disks that are already in use by another system. Even if you're not using the disk for anything on the host, simply having it online will take it exclusively. It will work. Problem would be, USB drive not attached as pass through for or server in hyper-v. Office Office Exchange Server. Not an IT pro?

This means that you can write storage class drivers for Windows with minimal concern for the unique hardware features of each SCSI adapter. The emulation capabilities of the SCSI Port driver also allow you to develop minidrivers that are much simpler to design and code than a monolithic port driver. In other words, using the SCSI Port driver allows you to focus on developing a miniport driver that handles the particular features of your adapter.
