...
- Abiquo always supports two SATA controllers with unit numbers from 0 to 19, even when the guest operating system may support more.
- Abiquo uses the controller selected by the API, based on the user selection or the platform defaults. It does not use the recommendation of SATA controller for the Guest OS selected for the template.
- This feature also fixes some incorrect mappings of 32 bit operating systems for version 5.5: rhel7Guest, other3xLinuxGuest, debian7Guest, sles12Guest.
Use cases for controller changes
- You can move a drive from IDE to SATA or from SATA to IDE but you must power off the VM first
- If you have a VM deployed with an ISO disk on an IDE controller, you can now change the controller to SATA. If the VM is not using any SATA disks, the platform will create the SATA controller.
- If you have a primary IDE disk at 0:0 plus an ISO disk at 0:1, then if you change the primary disk controller to SATA, then the CD-ROM will move to IDE 0:0
