Configuring a Virtual Machine's SCSI Controllers
Configuring a Virtual Machine's SCSI Controllers
You can configure the settings for the virtual machine's virtual SCSI controller. These
settings include the virtual SCSI controller driver and whether the SCSI bus is shared
with virtual or physical devices.
To configure the virtual machine's virtual SCSI controller, complete the following
steps.
- In the Hardware page, under SCSI Controller, click Edit. The SCSI Controller page appears.
- In the Virtual Device list, select the SCSI controller driver which you want the virtual machine to use. Choose vmxbuslogic or vmxlsilogic.
Caution: Before you select a different driver, make sure you installed the driver in
the guest operating system first; otherwise, the guest cannot boot. To switch to
the vmxlsilogic driver, see www.vmware.com/support/esx2/doc/
esx20admin_lsilogic_vms.html.
- In the Bus Sharing list, select how you want the virtual machine to share its bus. Choose one of the following:
- Physical - to share disks with virtual machines on any server.
- Virtual - to share disks with virtual machines on the same server.
- None - to prevent sharing of disks with other virtual machines.
- Click OK to save your changes and close the window.
