Configuring a Virtual Machine 151
Note: In some Linux distributions (e.g. RHEL 5.3), the SCSI driver may be not installed. In
this case, you should install this driver in your Linux guest OS to be able to use the SCSI
controller.
You can also define the device position in the Location list or accept the position offered by
Add Hardware Wizard.
Note: The SCSI 7:0 location is not available for selecting, since it is occupied by the SCSI
controller itself.
If you selected the Real Device option, you can connect your physical computer CD/DVD-
ROM drive directly to your virtual machine. In this case, you will be able to fully use this
CD/DVD-ROM drive in the virtual machine (e.g. record data on discs). For these purposes,
select the Passthrough option.
Note: If you connect your physical computer CD/DVD-ROM drive directly to your virtual
machine, this drive will not be available in the primary OS.
When you are ready, click the Add Device button to add a new virtual CD/DVD-ROM drive
to your virtual machine.
