So, i originally set these up as SCSI drives in Proxmox. Since I am
using LVM-Thin, I don't think I can change the hard drive type? Does
this mean that I have to create another disk and dd it in? Do I need
to set the bs=1024?
I will look into the IDE drivers.
Thanks,

I recently did a P2V onto LVM thin from a Windows 2003 server running
on an old HP Proliant with a HP 6400 U-SCSI RAID. I used dd | ssh to
accomplish it, and then of=the actual lvm volume. This completed
successfully, however, I cannot seem to get SCSI drivers working, so
it simply boots to the windows loading screen and crashes... I am
hesitant for obvious reasons to do too much tampering with the host OS
pre-migration.
Does anyone have experience doing this?
Personally this is how I proceed in such cases (if the original server
cannot boot).
1. Connect the HD as IDE drives in the VM
2. Try to boot windows
3. If it starts then go to point 7
4. If it does not start, then I start Windows with an ISO of the OS and
run in recovery mode. This allows you to launch a registry editor and
load a registry hive.
an alternative is to install a temporary windows into another disk,
boot from there and load the registry of the server.
5. In the registry I go and enable the ide drivers to start at boot
(HKLM\System\... look if up in the internet)
6. Then I boot windows (hopefully the change did it's magic)
7 I install virtio drivers and then migrate the disks to use virtio.
That's roughly the procedure.
Of course this could be avoided if the original server is working by
merging directly the mergeide.reg file before doing the p2v conversion.
Hope this helps,
Alessandro
