Recently we created our templates to use PVSCSI adapters not realizing that you can not use this adapter with Fault Tolerance. We built a new domain controller using the template as a base and now we would like to make it FT.
Every time we try and switch the adapter it will blue screen. I have tried the normal method of adding a hard disk to SCSI port 1:0 and making the new SCSI controller LSI while leaving the original SCSI controller PVSCSI. We booted into Windows so that it would load the LSI drivers. We rebooted, changed the old hard disks to be on the new controller and rebooted again. Once we did that, the system blue screens. We can change it back to PVSCSI and it will boot into Windows.
The VM is running Windows 2008 R2 and I tried to repair the boot process using the Windows 2008 R2 DVD with similar results.
I tried to P2V the existing VM in the hopes that during the process it would convert the PVSCSI adapter to LSI for me, but I get an error during the conversion process that it could not write more than one active partition to the partition table. I think this may be due Windows 2008 R2 having a hidden boot partition on the primary hard disk.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
