I have a new machine with 2 Westmere CPUs and 4 SAS disks in 2 Raid pairs.
WS 2012 r2 is installed and I have set up a Hyper-v Role, and rebooted, etc
I have set up Gen 2 VM which starts fine
I have an iso image downloaded from MS and mounted that as a DVD in the VM Manager and have put that first in the boot order.
When I start the machine I get
Boot Failed. EFI SCSI Device
(Same happens when I create a new machine with the Wizard and specify the OS installation iso image right at the start.)
I have followed all the instructions to the letter. Why do MS supply a product which falls at the very important stage of installing an OS in a VM?
Notes
I am new to the technical depths of Windows.
This is a single machine, not part of cluster. It is in a workgroup, not a domain - if that matters.
I have tried to read couple of other threads that mention the same error, but the are not quite the same situation and also I cannot follow the suggested fixes at all.
Please could someone tell me what to do via simple, point and click, step by step instructions, without assuming any knowledge on my part?
Thank you very much indeed.
