XCP-ng Windows PV Drivers 8.2.2
-
@stormi I dont think so. Its build to fit at least Windows 7 drivers.
-
I found maybe the main issue with the PV Driver installer, here you can follow: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/181
It's related to Certificate Issues

Release Candidate has arrived (see first post!) Please test and report back!
-
I will give a roll of tests during the next week and I will report here
-
Some tests results on Windows Server 2016 and 2019 :
One shot installation, one reboot and that's it ! Perfect captain
-
-
Can the drivers be used on VMs running on a XCP-ng 7 host?
-
@janm yes
-
@ruskofd so everything works on a French Windows, right?
-
I never had a problem with borzel's drivers with French locale. But yes, it's works perfectly
-
So to be sure: you extracted the zip, run "Setup.exe", and you went from a "clean VM" to a VM with both PV drivers AND management agent, right?
-
Exactly.
- Installation of a fresh Windows Server 2016/2019
- Load the ISO provided by borzel
- Tools installation with the Setup.exe
- Reboot, that's it. Simple as VMware Tools
-
Great news then! @borzel is there anything left before including this in 8.0 ISO?
-
@olivierlambert some minor things like branding

Tested on Windows 10 1903 (French locale as usual), seems good too and easier than ever.
I let you know if something bad happens. -
So I haven't been able to install these drivers on Win 10 Pro 64-bit build 1903.
Running the setup.exe file, it goes through the motions until I get an error box that says "Windows Management Agent failed to install".I then re-run setup and choose "Repair" and it goes through the motions and finally tells me at the end it was installed. However, upon reboot, I'm greeted with a BSOD and the stop code is "Inaccessible Boot Device.".
This is a brand new Win 10 install. I made sure to grab system updates first. I have to revert the snapshot to get the system back.

What's the OS language? (yeah, it might be important in Windows world…)

@olivierlambert said in XCP-ng Windows PV Drivers 8.2.2:

Its English. Just plain ol'e English USA x64 Win 10 Pro.
-
Okay I'll try again to test to see if I can reproduce, but last time I did it worked well. Are you using the Win 10 template?
-
Yes. When I created the VM, I chose the Win 10 64-bit template.
Are there separate drivers? One from the Win update repo and then this one?
