Drop-down list of configurable device types. The table below describes the available device types:
SCSI device type
Description
Virtual Disk
Virtual disk device backed by a container file.
Virtual CDROM
Virtual CDROM device, backed by a container file.
Virtual Tape
Virtual tape device backed by a container file.
Physical Disk
Virtual disk device connected to a host-attached physical disk device.
Physical CDROM
Virtual CDROM device connected to a host-attached physical optical drive.
Physical Tape
Virtual tape device connected to a host-attached physical tape drive.
SCSI bus
Specify 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.
