FieldDescription
SCSI device type  Virtual Disk or Physical disk...
SCSI bus 
SCSI ID 
SCSI device path

Drop-down list of configurable device types. The table below describes the available device types:

 SCSI device typeDescription
 Virtual Disk 
 Virtual CDROM 
 Virtual Tape 
 Physical Disk 
 Physical CDROM 
 Physical Tape 
SCSI busSpecify either the Primary SCSI Bus and the External SCSI Bus on CHARON-SSP/4M virtual machines only.
SCSI ID

SCSI device identification number.

  • For CHARON-SSP/4U-based virtual machines, acceptable values are a 3-bit narrow SCSI device ID between 0 and 7.
  • For CHARON-SSP/4M-based virtual machines, acceptable values are a 4-bit wide SCSI device ID between 0 and 15.
Note

In all cases the SCSI device ID 7 is reserved for the SCSI bus controller and cannot be used for a user configurable SCSI device.

SCSI device path

Click the path to specify the location of the virtual SCSI device. The table below lists example device paths depending on the setting of the SCSI device type option.

 SCSI Device TypeExample SCSI Device Path
 Virtual Disk/usr/local/vm/lela/scsi0.vdisk
 Virtual CDROM/usr/local/share/iso/sunos_4.1.4.iso
