External virtual storage device configuration.

These sections are used for virtual machine configurations that support the external (although not necessarily physically external) SCSI controller, such as the Sun Enterprise 450.  

...devices are named scsix_...

...numbered 0 - 15

...same options as scsi_n

...include and example with couple cdroms and a disk

...also mention that id 7 is off limits...

This section is used for virtual machine configurations where there are multiple Ethernet controllers.  The properties are the same as those described in the [ethernet] Section.  However, the section naming is slightly different in that the names are suffixed with an underscore and the controller number.

The configuration example below demonstrates the configuration of two virtual Ethernet adapters Each device requires a separate section heading, where is replaced with a SCSI ID number between 0 and 15.  The example below demonstrates a configuration of three devices (two CD-ROMs backed by ISO container files and one physical disk) attached to the external SCSI bus.

[scsix_0]
type = disk
path = /dev/sr0
 
[scsix_5]
type = iso
path = /usr/local/share/iso/sunos4.1.4.iso
 
[scsix_6]
type = iso
path = /usr/local/share/iso/solaris.1.1.2.iso

The section properties describes in the [scsi_n] Section are also applicable here.

Note

The SCSI ID 7 is reserved for the virtual SCSI adapter, consequently it is not possible to configure a section titled [scsix_7].
