Re: [Users] EL5 support for VirtIO SCSI?

Hi Rene. I specifically need the scsi support (virtio-scsi). I do know about the virtio-block support, which results in /dev/vd* devices as you say. From what I read even EL6 earlier than 6.3 does not support virtio-scsi Alternatively, does oVirt support an emulated scsi adapter of a different type that would allow me to see scsi disks?

If you're installing the OS on a VirtIO disk this is done automatically by anaconda. I just installed RHEL 5 on oVirt 3.3 with VirtIO disk and everything worked out of the box. > > On Wed, Nov 13, 2013 at 9:32 AM, Sven Kieske <S.Kieske(a)mittwald.de <mailto:S.Kieske@mittwald.de>> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > afaik the rhel 5 kernel series just has not the necessary drivers for > > all virtio stuff, so it's not supported and does not work, unless > > you want to patch your own kernel. > > > > Am 13.11.2013 06:44, schrieb Paul Jansen: > >> I have just set up an Ovirt 3.3.0 install and have done a test install of Centos 6.4 in a VM.
