Configuring the LSI Logic SCSI Adapter in a Windows Guest
Operating System
Before you begin configuring your Windows guest, download the LSI Logic driver
from the LSI Logic Web site, as mentioned above.
For a new virtual machine, unzip the driver files to a floppy disk. This floppy disk is
needed while installing the guest operating system.
For an existing virtual machine, unzip the driver files into a directory in the guest
operating system, then shut down the guest and power off the virtual machine.
1. Power on the virtual machine.
2. Do one of the following:
• If you are installing a new guest operating system, press F6 at the beginning
of the installation to have Windows prompt for a driver disk. When you are
asked to load additional drivers, insert the floppy disk containing the driver
files and let Windows copy the driver files and continue the installation. Do
not remove the floppy disk from the floppy drive until the installer reboots the
guest.
• If you are changing from the BusLogic to the LSI Logic adapter in an existing
virtual machine, the guest operating system recognizes the presence of the
LSI Logic adapter and the Add New Hardware wizard starts after you log in.
Browse to the directory where you unzipped the driver files and let Windows
copy them to the correct place.
3. After you install the LSI Logic driver, make sure the virtual machine boots
completely. Check the guest operating system’s Device Manager to ensure the
LSI Logic adapter appears and is working.
If you are installing the LSI adapter in a new guest operating system, you are
finished. If you are switching from a BusLogic adapter in an existing virtual
machine, continue with the remaining steps.
4. Shut down and power off the virtual machine, then edit the configuration file.
Switch the original BusLogic adapter to the LSI Logic adapter by changing this
line:
scsi0.virtualDev = "vmxbuslogic"
to
scsi0.virtualDev = "vmxlsilogic"
