Configuring a Virtual Machine's Generic SCSI Device
You can configure any generic SCSI devices in a virtual machine. Make sure the virtual
machine is powered off, then complete the following steps.
- To configure an existing generic SCSI device, on the Hardware page, under Generic SCSI Device, click Edit. The Generic Device (SCSI <ID>) page appears.
- To connect this virtual machine to the server's SCSI device when the virtual machine is powered on, check Connect at Power On.
- In the Device entry field, specify the name of the device, such as /dev/sga.
- Specify the virtual device node. Select the appropriate SCSI ID in the Virtual SCSI Node list.
Note: If the virtual device is on SCSI controller 0:0, a warning appears, stating
that changing the SCSI node may cause the virtual machine to boot improperly.
- Click OK to save your change and close the window.
To add a new generic SCSI device to a virtual machine, make sure the virtual machine
is powered off, then complete the following steps.
- On the Hardware page, click Add Device. The Add Device Wizard starts.
- Click Generic SCSI Device. The Network Adapter page appears.
- To connect this virtual machine to the server's SCSI device when the virtual machine is powered on, check Connect at Power On.
- In the Device entry field, specify the name of the device, such as /dev/sga.
- Specify the virtual device node. Select the appropriate SCSI ID in the Virtual SCSI Node list.
