Public bug reported: Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 introduces a new feature for virtual machines named "generation 2", consisting mainly in a new firmware and better support for synthetic devices.
Generation 2 VMs don't support IDE devices, which means that local boot, ephemeral disks and DVD Drives must be attached as SCSI, instead of IDE for generation 1 VMs. Since the Virtual Hard Disks and Virtual CD/DVD Disks can be attached to IDE controllers or SCSI controllers (generation 2 only), some constants, variables and methods have been improperly named, having the IDE prefix. e.g.: _IDE_DISK_RES_SUB_TYPE will have to be renamed to _HARD_DISK_RES_SUB_TYPE ** Affects: nova Importance: Undecided Assignee: Claudiu Belu (cbelu) Status: New ** Tags: hyper-v ** Changed in: nova Assignee: (unassigned) => Claudiu Belu (cbelu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
