LSI Logic or BusLogic SCSI controller

Hello

We have ESX3.5 Update2.

All WIN2000 / NT VM machines have BusLogic, but WIN2003 and linux Debian have de LSI Logic SCSI controller.

Is this correct?

When you use BusLogic and LSI Logic SCSI controller?

What are the differences?

There is a great doc that explains the differences between virtual SCSI adapters. Hope this helps.

    Some ideas?

    Greetings JB01

    You should be able to create it as a guest of Vista, which will give you an LSI controller. If you need you can come back later and change the ID invited with Set - VM - ID. This will not change the type of controller.

  • Create the virtual machine with the type of controller SCSI LSI logic SAS with PowerCLi

    Hey guys,.

    IM the difficulty to create a virtual machine with the type of controller SCSI to "LSI Logic SAS". The cmdlet New - VM im struggling to find where to create the type of controller?

    If you create a virtual machine without specifying a disk it will create a 4 GB SCSI type thick (0:0) hard drive 1 with 0 Parrall default BusLogic SCSI controller.

    What im wanting to do is to create a disk hard which is thin Prov. and create SCSI LSI logic SAS controller is set to.

    New-VM -name VMSTORE23 -$vmhost $esxhost MemoryMB- 4096 NumCpu- 2 -NetworkName "Vlan 6 Machine Virtual Network" | Get-NetworkAdapter | Set-NetworkAdapter -Type Vmxnet3 -MacAddress '00:50:56:00:00:21' -confirm:$false

    I have recived of aid by some LucD who helped direct the value of the network card in the New - VM cmdlet as follows. But I'm not able to add a hose for hard disk also like:

    | Get-hard drive | Together-hard drive - Datastore $datastore - slim StorageFormat

    And I have no idea how change the type of SCSI conroller or create it with the correct configuration?

    Any help would be great,

    Thanks in advance

    Greetings, steddyeddie-

    You should be able to use Set - hard drive and SCSI controller Set cmdlets to set the storage format of your hard drive and the SCSI controller type, respectively.  You were close to on the part of game - hard drive .  Try something like:

    ## get the VM object $vmVMSTORE23 = Get-VM VMSTORE23 ## set the harddisk storageformat to thin$vmVMSTORE23 | Get-HardDisk | Set-HardDisk -StorageFormat Thin ## set the SCSI controller type$vmVMSTORE23 | Get-ScsiController | Set-ScsiController -Type VirtualLsiLogicSAS
    

    It could pack in to your existing order to keep it as a good word, but for readability.

  • Adding new SCSI controller: "error string: invalid operation for the '0' device.»

    Hello

    I have a problem when I try to add a SCSI controller to a virtual machine.

    I have this error:

    Error string: invalid operation for the device '0'.

    Lack of details: InvalidDeviceOperation

    Here is my code:

    my $info = Description-> new (label = > summary of "" SCSI controller 2 ' = > 'LSI Logic parallel' ");

    my $controller = VirtualLsiLogicController-> new)

    deviceInfo = > $info,

    scsiCtlrUnitNumber = > '7'.

    sharedBus = > VirtualSCSISharing-> new ('noSharing'),

    busNumber = >-1,

    I don't know how to handle, or even how to solve problems.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Kind regards

    I finally found a solution.

    It seems that it fails if you give a marked as mandatory parameter (scsiCtlrUnitNumber, hotAddRemove)... Theses parameters seem to be set automatically, a dump of the device which will show.

    Here's the code used:

    My = $controller_spec

    VirtualDeviceConfigSpec-> new (device-online VirtualLsiLogicController-> new (key-online 0

    device-online [0],

    busNumber => $scsi_controller.

    sharedBus => VirtualSCSISharing-> new ('noSharing')),

    operation => VirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation-> new ('Add'));

    My $vmspec = VirtualMachineConfigSpec-> new (deviceChange-online [$controller_spec]);

    {eval

    $vm_view-> ReconfigVM (spec-online $vmspec);

    };

  • LSI Logic LSI SAS vs parallel?

    What is the difference between these two SCSI controllers available for VMS?

    Should be chosen according to the what is the real underlying disk system (if there is real or not SAS disks) or has to do with the guest operating system?

    Are there differences in performance between them?

    no gain.  SAS controller is required for MSCS 2008 and will be available only if vHardware is 7, but it's really the only time wherever you will use it.  LSI Logic P is the controller of choice

  • Change the type of scsi controller / windows7Server64Guest and LSI Logic SAS

    Hello

    I would like the parallel to sas LSI Logic scsi LSI logic controller type.

    the reason is this colleague has created an image of windows 2008 R2 and I want to install the machine in script.

    He used LSI Logic SAS.

    When I used PowerCLi for create a new virtual machine with the existing drive, he created with the LSI Logic parallel...

    (of course I change it manually, but I would like to completely automate the installation)

    could someone help me on this?

    Thank you very much in advance

    Fred

    Have you ever watched the SCSI adapater to paravirtual with PowerCLI change ?

    Instead of the VMware.Vim.ParaVirtualSCSIController you select the VMware.Vim.VirtualLsiLogicSASController object.

    Let me know that make you it work if I can post a sample.

  • LSI Logic SCSI controller, how will I know if I use it?

    I read in the 4.5 Administrator's guide view that they suggest that you use the LSI Logic SCSI so adapter when configuring the virtual machine, I chose "Custom" and LSI Logic parallel for the SCSI controller and the installation of XP, I did the steps "F6" then "S" and made him a floppy image, I created on the site of LSI and the driver appeared as "LSI Logic PCI Fusion-MPT Driver (XP 32 - bit).  Everything went very well with the installation but I don't see a SCSI adapter that is listed in the Windows Device Manager and in the virtual machine's .vmx file, I open in Wordpad does not from there. I also checked the settings of the virtual machine when he was running down and do not see a SCSI card that there are listed be?

    But in the virtual machine settings, I do not see a SCSI LSI controller.

    You must use SCSI drives instead of IDE disks.

  • Add disk Workflow fails when you use the LSI Logic SAS SCSI controller

    I'm in vCenter Orchestrator 4.0.1

    When you try to run the workflow work add drive on a virtual machine that uses the LSI Logic SAS SCSI controller I get an error no controller found.

    This workflow is under: library-> VIM 3-> Virtual Machine Management-> device management

    The workflow add disk supports the LSI Logic SAS controller?  If this is not the case, no idea of how to create my own custom adds workflow to disk that would work with this controller?

    Thank you!

    Which plugin you have configured to talk to your Virtual Center? the plugin 3.5 or 4.0 plugin? If you have used the plugin 4.0, you must use the library-> VC-> * workflow so that the correct objects get used.

  • New hard drive fails on Windows Server 2008 VM with LSI Logic SAS SCSI controller

    When I try to add a new hard disk to a virtual computer with the cmdlet New-disk hard of a Windows Server 2008 virtual computer, I get the following error:

    I admit that I was pretty murky about when the fix will be available. The thing is that VMware has a policy that employees should not mention liberation time unless we are certain that we can keep his promise of 100%. Hence statemens as 'will be available in a future release.

  • How to: install Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit) in ESXi 4.1 - 260247 with controller 'LSI Logic SAS'?

    Hello

    I have a newly installed ESXi 4.1 - 260247 on a Fujitsu - Siemens GROUND RX300 S4 with 2 x Intel Xeon E5420 @ 2.5 GHz with 36 GB of RAM.

    Storage controller is a LSI MegaRAID SAS 1078 6 x 750 GB SATA - drives configured with 3xRAID-1 logical drives. BIOS Version 4.06 Rev 1.04.2519

    Now, I'm trying to install "Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit" in a virtual machine, but fail because the virtual hard disk cannot be found.

    I tried with all Types of SCSI controller, but when running of the "Create Virtual Machine"-magician, he suggests 'LSI Logic SAS'. "." I tried 'LSI Logic parallel' and "VMware Paravirtual" but it did not work. However, I have not tried "Parallel BusLogic", since it clearly says no "recommended for this guest operating system".

    I was unable to find documentation on how and where I can find the "LSI Logic SAS" - pilot to be able to continue the installation. The

    Windows Server 2008 R2 installation is an ISO obtained directly from Microsoft eLicensing.

    I also downloaded the drivers floppy 'pvscsi - Windows2008.flp' and 'vmscsi.flp' from the ESXi server, but the program finds no driver validates the installation of Windows on them.

    I also extracted files "windows.iso' of the ESXi machine, but not drivers there as well.

    So my question is, what model is the "LSI Logic SAS", I guess I can download these LSI directly, I need to know what model?

    Any help appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Kind regards

    chrkad,

    I think you have the same problem I had.   Trying to install 2008 R2 and asked for drivers?

    The issue wound up being an ISO corrupt Ms.

    Try to download the ISO using the java-based download manager.  This will tell you if your download is getting disturbed, as mine was.  It will also be the image once completed to ensure you've got the whole thing of checksum.  Just download via HTTP does not.

  • SCSI - LSI Logic v logical Bus controllers

    Hello

    Can someone answer the following two questions:

    1. When you select a typical construction when creating a new virtual machine is the scsi controller LSI or Bus logic?

    It depends on the OS you choose.
