Hello,
if I create a VM and select Q35 machine type, still the General --> create
image option in edit phase doesn't show sata as an option.
Even if I create the VM without disks and then go to edit General -->
create, I only see IDE, VirtIO-SCSI and VirtIO.
Instead if I click VM name, DIsks --> New, I can select VirtIO-SCSI, VirtIO
and SATA
After the first disk (SATA in my case) has been created, now if I go and
edit VM --> General --> Instance Images + --> Create, I see consistent
options.
I think GUI experience could be improved.
Also because I can reproduce this workflow converging to an error (even if
IDE disks are not so common nowadays...):
New VM
In general I create an IDE disk
In System I select in Advanced parameters, Custom Chipset/Firmware Type Q35
(EFI or BIOS based)
go ahead
At the final OK I get the error:
Cannot add Virtual Disk: The disk interface is not supported by the VM OS:
Other OS.
The result is VM created but without the IDE disk as not supported in Q35
type.
Tested in 4.4.4
