[ovirt-users] can't migrate Windows 2012R2 VM

[Matthias Leopold]

Hi Arsene,

thanks for your feedback. I doubt that a display device driver in the 
guest can be responsible for the mentioned migration problems in the 
virtualization environment. Nevertheless i installed 
https://www.spice-space.org/download/windows/spice-guest-tools/spice-guest-tools-latest.exe 
im my Windows 2012R2 VM (the driver in your link didn't install). As i 
expected this didn't fix the migration problem.
