[ovirt-users] Server 2012 R2 no drive found

[Neil]

Thank you Rene, greatly appreciated.

I'm using the Server 2012 R2 Standard edition and at this point I
haven't even got a NIC added to the VM.

Another piece of info which might be useful (or not) is I'm using a FC
SAN for storage, not sure if this would have any affect.

Thanks.

Regards.

Neil Wilson.
