VM can not add Fiber Channel Adapter

Question

Hi There,
We have one Failover Cluster for Hyper-V VMs running on Windows Server 2012R2. Everything working well but one thing. Today, I try to create Hyper-V VM server, everything normal also but I can't not add Fiber Channel Adapter for VM server. I click on "Add Hardware" the option Fiber Channel Adapter grayed out.
Have anyone faced same issue with me? I have tried some actions but still can not. It is production system so any safeties way to fix this issue.
Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Hi,

When you add the adapter for the VM, do you shut down the VM? When we add it, the VM should be offline.

Thanks for your time!

Answer 4

how many fibre channel adapters available you get when you place your cursor over fibre channel adapter greyed?

Answer 5

If you place the cursor over fibre channel adapter greyed and wait, it shows how many fibre adapter are available.
if it shows 0 available adapters and you don't have any adapter configured in the virtual machine, could be a driver problem.
