[HPE VME] VirtIO driver injection - version used

[JaySt]

we got some feedback after trying the restore of a multi TB SQL database VM to HPE VME, now that we have the VirtIO driver injection with v13.1

injection seems to use storage driver 100.102.104.29000
Injected during restore of a Windows Server 2019 server.

However, we immediately saw database corruptions, storage io issues.
Seems that there is a known storage IO issue with the latest VirtIO drivers : https://github.com/virtio-win/kvm-guest ... ssues/1453
Reverting the driver to what's included in VirtIO 0.1.271 (the version just before the latest 0.1.285) seems to have fixed the storage IO error.

the issues seems to be fixed on github, but not yet merged into the latest stable. I think Veeam uses a version still affected by the issue.

any thoughts?

Thanks, I'll check with the team. Was there a support case for this issue by chance?

[JaySt]

No support case yet. We were notified of the possible issue and fix(downgrade) and just tried that first (successfully it seems)
