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.

  1. In the Hardware page, under SCSI Controller, click Edit. The SCSI Controller page appears.
  2. In the Virtual Device list, select the SCSI controller driver which you want the virtual machine to use. Choose vmxbuslogic or vmxlsilogic.

  3. In the Bus Sharing list, select how you want the virtual machine to share its bus. Choose one of the following:
