HyperV 2019 server device manager

Question

Hi - im experimenting with the above. Im really just playing around with the basics. Ive got this installed on a ProxMox server and the network card is not detected. Not a problem as ive got an iso attached to the system but, on hyperV how do i initiate the adding of drivers (or the launching of the device manager) or, does it exist on here (hyperV) Cheers to anyone that takes a stab at it..

Answer 1

Hi,

Do you mean you are unable to install hardware drivers on the Hyper V server correctly, such as network card drivers?

If I understand the issue correctly, please check if the Hyper V server OS is from the official channel, check if the hardware is certificated. And check if you meet the requirements to install Hyper V role.

If we are still unable to isntall hardware driver, please contact the hardware vendor for deep troubleshooting.

Thanks for your time!
Best Regards,
Anne

Answer 4

I'd check here and with manufacturer that the hardware is supported. Also install the chipset as first step after deploying operating system.
