Vm_Hardware_Adapter_Scsi_Type

type

Optional

The Scsi.Type enumerated type defines the valid emulation types for a virtual SCSI adapter.
BUSLOGIC : BusLogic host bus adapter.
LSILOGIC : LSI Logic host bus adapter.
LSILOGICSAS : LSI Logic SAS 1068 host bus adapter.
PVSCSI : Paravirtualized host bus adapter.

integer As int64

bus

Optional

SCSI bus number. If unset, the server will choose an available bus number; if none is available, the request will fail.

integer As int64

pci_slot_number

Optional

Address of the SCSI adapter on the PCI bus. If the PCI address is invalid, the server will change it when the VM is started or as the device is hot added. If unset, the server will choose an available address when the virtual machine is powered on.

Vm_Hardware_Adapter_Scsi_Sharing

sharing

Optional

The Scsi.Sharing enumerated type defines the valid bus sharing modes for a virtual SCSI adapter.
NONE : The virtual SCSI bus is not shared.
VIRTUAL : The virtual SCSI bus is shared between two or more virtual machines. In this case, no physical machine is involved.
PHYSICAL : The virtual SCSI bus is shared between two or more virtual machines residing on different physical hosts.
