Adding a driver storage
3. [Optional] Specify the mass-storage driver.
If the target hardware has a specific mass-storage controller (such as a SCSI, RAID, or Fibre
Channel adapter) for the hard disk, explicitly specify the appropriate driver for that controller.
The driver will be installed in any case, bypassing the automatic driver search-and-install
procedure.
Use this option only if the automatic search-and-install procedure was unsuccessful.
Tip: When deploying the system to a virtual machine that uses SCSI hard drive controller, make sure to
specify SCSI drivers for the virtual environment. For example, VMware requires Buslogic or LSI logic drivers.
Use drivers bundled with your virtualization software or download the latest driver versions from the
software manufacturer’s Web site.
