Configuring a Virtual Machine’s Generic SCSI Device
You can configure any generic SCSI devices in a virtual machine. Make sure the virtual
machine is powered off, then complete the following steps.
1. To configure an existing generic SCSI device, on the Hardware page, under
Generic SCSI Device, click Edit. The Generic Device (SCSI <ID>) page appears.
2. To connect this virtual machine to the server’s SCSI device when the virtual
machine is powered on, check Connect at Power On.
3. In the Device entry field, specify the name of the device, such as /dev/sga.
4. Specify the virtual device node. Select the appropriate SCSI ID in the Virtual SCSI
Node list.
Note: If the virtual device is on SCSI controller 0:0, a warning appears, stating
that changing the SCSI node may cause the virtual machine to boot improperly.
5. Click OK to save your change and close the window.
