While installing Windows 2019 on a new VM on an AHV cluster, an administrator notices there aren't any drives listed for the install. What might the problem be?
A.
VirtIO drivers must be installed on AHV for installations of Windows.
B.
VirtIO drivers aren't supported on this version of Windows 2019.
C.
VirtIO drivers have not yet been installed and the disks are SCSI disks.
D.
VirtIO drivers have not yet been installed and the disks are IDE disks.
the answer A is correct! see
Nutanix VirtIO is a collection of drivers meant to enhance the stability and performance of VMs. VirtIO bundles several different drivers, including ethernet adapter, RNG device, SCSI pass- through controller, SCSI controller, serial driver, and so on.
VirtIO is available in two formats. If you are performing a fresh installation of Windows on an AHV VM, use the VirtIO ISO. If you are updating VirtIO for Windows on an existing VM, use the VirtIO MSI installer file.
The latest VirtIO drivers can be downloaded from the Nutanix Support Portal. To download the latest versions:
Access the Downloads section on the Support Portal, and select AHV.
Select VirtIO in the drop-down menu and download the required VirtIO package. You can download the latest VirtIO drivers from the Nutanix Support Portal.
I could be wrong, but this doesn't sound right. VirtIO drivers aren't installed in AHV, they're loaded in the booted VM during an installation by attaching the ISO and installing the driver. I also believe it's just for the SCSI controllers, so I think the answer should be C.
I've done this multiple time you're correct while installing a fresh windwos server 2019 or later you should mount also the VirtIO driver and chose the iscsi passthrough after that the disk will be visble so you can install the os on it
