Configuring and Running Virtual Machines

scsi0.present = TRUE

scsi0.virtualDev = buslogic

scsi0:1.present = TRUE

scsi0:1.fileName = virt-scsi.dsk

scsi0:1.mode = nonpersistent

Note: Using virtual disks stored on the console operating system’s file system does

not take advantage of ESX Server’s new high-performance SCSI disk architecture and

therefore the performance of the virtual machine may suffer.

Naming VMFS File Systems

If you create a VMFS file system on a SCSI disk or partition, you can give a name to that

file system and use that name when specifying VMFS files on that file system. For

instance, suppose you have a VMFS file system on the SCSI partition vmhba0:3:1

and have created a VMFS file nt4.dsk. You can name that file system either using

the Web-based configuration wizard or via a vmkfstools command such as

vmkfstools -S mydisk vmhba0:3:1:0

You can then refer to the nt4.dsk file as mydisk:nt4.dsk (instead of

vmhba0:3:1:0:nt4.dsk) in a virtual machine configuration file and in other

vmkfstools commands.

Naming VMFS file systems is especially useful if you may be adding SCSI adapters or

disks to your system. In that case, the actual disk and target numbers specifying a

particular VMFS may change, but the name stays the same.
