Guest OS types that will get Virtio disks include: Ubuntu Fedora CentOS RedHat 6 Debian Other PV
And unfortunately, they also get virtio nics since they both run the OS through the same isPVEnabled() method to decide between hardware. This random "details" parameter is kind of interesting. I'll have to see if it gets passed along with StartCommand. I really dislike the trend of using a 'details' dumping ground for undocumented tweaks, but if it's already something that VMware is using then we could parse the details for the same info, if it's being passed along. What version of cloudstack are you using? And what OS is the guest agent running on?
