Do the QNAP Window Guest CD tools actually do anything?
I don't get the vitio drivers to install.
Is there a newer version of these tools perhaps?

Re: QNAP Window Guest CD tools ?
last i heard they updated the guest tools in the latest virtual station?
if you want to do virtio for vm (which is recommended), watch here

guest tool usage is mentioned here. use ctrl+f type "guest" then search through the articles to see what they use guest tools for
https://www.qnap.com/en-uk/how-to/tutor ... station-3/
https://www.qnap.com/en-in/how-to/tutor ... station-3/
https://www.qnap.com/en/app_releasenote ... hoose=QKVMVirtualization Station 3.4.5
( 2020/07/15 )
[Important Notes]
- Downgrading Virtualization Station 3.4 to an earlier version is not supported, and is likely to cause unpredictable issues.
- VMs exported from Virtualization Station 3.4 are only compatible with Virtualization Station 3.4 and later versions.
- The SeaBIOS version has been updated. Reinstall the QXL function from the Guest Tools CD for VMs that use the QVM feature or QXL video drivers.
[New Features]
- Added support for Windows Server 2019.
[Enhancements]
- Upgraded the following components related to compatibility, performance, and security:
- noVNC 1.1.0
- SeaBIOS 1.13.0
- Guest Tools ISO
[Fixed Issues]
- Reserved snapshots that were unlocked could not be selected.
- Service ports could not be configured.
- Copied backup files could not be selected while restoring VMs.

Re: QNAP Window Guest CD tools ?
Okay, I tried all of this, many many times, I cannot use the disk virtio drivers, even though they are installed.
The QEMU disk drivers seem to have to be used, sigh...

Re: QNAP Window Guest CD tools ?
And on re-install, VIRTIO disk interface is now working.
Strange.
Oh, I am using the RedHat drivers, virtio-win-0.1.185.iso

Re: QNAP Window Guest CD tools ?
what nas are you using? are you using the latest qts and virtual station app?
what vm are you using, win10? ubuntu?
i tested setting up virtio using win10 vm, definitely works. i followed this video, you do not need to refer to anything else for the instructions for how to get virtio setup

Re: QNAP Window Guest CD tools ?
Yes, I've seen all of those links, video, etc, thanks.
new TVS-872XT, upgraded to 64GB.
QTS - 4.4.3.1354 upgraded from 4.4.1.1122 on first day I received, July 09.
VS - 3.4.5
Win 10 LTSB - now working with virtio disk interface
Win 7 Pro, couldn't get it to work, maybe now I have Win 10 LTSB working on re-install, I can get a new Win 7 Pro install working?
Worth a try...

Re: QNAP Window Guest CD tools ?
I don't think virtio HDD works for windoze 7.
Can anyone get the virtio driver for HDD working in windoze 7?
The virtio-win-0.1.185.iso install app, says windows 8 or > only.
I even forced the install of all the w7 .inf info files via administrator command line:
pnputil -i -a name.inf
I tried the QNAP guest cd also, same, HDD virtio does not work in windoze7.
