This section describes the virtual SCSI storage device configuration. Each device requires a separate section heading, where n 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.

The following list describes the available options for [scsi_n] sections:
- [scsi_{{_n_}}] Section – Virtual SCSI storage device path.
- [scsi_{{_n_}}] Section – 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.
The SCSI ID 7 is reserved for the virtual SCSI adapter, consequently it is not possible to configure a sections titled [scsi_7].

Description
This property describes the type of the virtual SCSI storage device. It is possible to attach a range of devices in various formats, including container files and physical devices. The table below describes each possible value for device-type.
| Device Type | Description | Example Path |
|---|---|---|
cdrom | Physical optical device. | /dev/cdrom |
disk | Physical disk device. | /dev/sda |
iso | Virtual CD-ROM ISO container file. | /usr/local/share/iso/suns-4.1.4.iso |
tape | Physical tape device. | /dev/tape |
vdisk | Virtual disk container file. | /usr/local/vm/bender/disk0.vdisk |
vtape | Virtual tape container file. | /usr/local/vm/leela/tape0.vtape |
