Server 2016 VirtIO drivers?

[tim8v]

hi, does anyone know which version of the VirtIO driver ISO i should use for a Server 2016 VM?

Server 2016 would be Win10 kernel and Win10 VMs were working with Win8.1 drivers.

I had no issues with the 2012R2 drivers back in v109, so I would use the latest stable/beta version of the 2012R2 drivers.

tried both of those but it never recognises the hard drive is there.

Well, I think you are doing something wrong.

But without any more information (xml-config, screenshots, etc.), I could only guess...

 

Are you using the default "Server2016" template that comes with unraid?

Can you confirm, that your vDisk is at least 30G big?

Did you select the "viostor->w2kr2->amd64" folder when you were loading the driver?

 

I had no trouble in 6.1.X with a OVMF virtual machine and on 6.2 beta it runs just as smooth.

Installed Prev. 4 yesterday and Prev. 5 today.
