Vista - Disk controler with hyper-v

Hello

after setting up my first w2K3r2sp2 vm on hyper-v, i was surprised to
see that i was unable to choose an scsi disk. Only IDE controler is
available and seen is hyper-v despite the fact that my server his a
dell R200 with 2 SAS 3Gb/s hard drives 15 Ktmins on a perc6/iR controller

any idea ?

In advance Thks

This is "normal" in Hyper-V. The IDE and SCSI designations for disks have
_nothing_ to do with the underlying physical hardware. They are simply the
way that Hyper-V presents the synthetic disk controller to the child
operating systems. Because the synthetic SCSI would require a driver to be
loaded before the disk could be seen by the OS, the boot disk must always be
"IDE". In order to use the synthetic SCSI disks, the integration components
must be loaded. But the IDE type is available to all OSs without additional
drivers, so use that for your boot disk.

An important note: unlike Virtual Server, the effective speed of the IDE and
SCSI disk types are the same, so there's no penalty for choosing IDE.

Nope. Performance is the same on both controllers according to the Hyper-V
team.
