Virtual storage device configuration.

This section describes the virtual SCSI storage device configuration. .don't forget to text the extended options that are available on SMA... Each device requires a separate section heading, where is replaced with a SCSI ID number between 0 and 15.  The example below shows the configuration entries for a physical tape device attached at SCSI ID 5.  All devices are attached to the internal bus of the SPARC virtual machine.

path = /dev/tape
type = tape

The following list describes the available options for [scsi_n] sections:

  • path – Virtual SCSI storage device path.
  • type – Specify type of virtual SCSI storage device.

For virtual models that support the feature, it is possible to configure additional virtual SCSI devices attached to a external SCSI controller.  For an example configuration and details on section naming, see [scsix_n] Section.

Note

The SCSI ID 7 is reserved for the virtual SCSI adapter, consequently it is not possible to configure a section titled [scsi_7].
