When you select a custom configuration, the New Virtual Machine wizard prompts you to select the I/O controller type for the virtual machine. Workstation Pro automatically configures your virtual machine with the SCSI controller best suited for the guest operating system, but you can change the controller.

Workstation Pro installs an IDE controller and a SCSI controller in the virtual machine. SATA controllers are supported for some guest operating systems. The IDE controller is always ATAPI. For the SCSI controller, you can choose BusLogic, LSI Logic, LSI Logic SAS, or VMware Paravirtual (PVSCSI) adapter. If you are creating a remote virtual machine on an ESX host, you can also select a VMware Paravirtual SCSI adapter.

Vuescan, Adaptec SCSI Controller, Driver: 64 bit Windows 7 / Windows 8 I am now running my long defunct Canon Canoscan FS2710 on its original SCSI card; and using Hamrick's modern scanner driver, the original being obsolete, without a hitch. Right click on SCSI Controller, and select Update Driver On the window titled: Update Drivers, select Browse my computer for driver software Select the folder containing the driver you downloaded (Figure 3) Windows should ask you if you want to install the unsigned driver (Figure 4), select install this driver software anyway. Updating the LSI Logic Driver from within Windows XP - 1. From Device Manager right click on the 'LSI Logic Ultra320 SCSI Adapter' and then choose 'Properties'. Click on the 'Driver' tab, click 'Update Driver' and then click on the 'Next' button. From the next screen click on 'Display a list of the known drivers for. Download drivers for VIA USB Attached SCSI (UAS) Mass Storage Device controllers (Windows 7 x64), or install DriverPack Solution software for automatic driver download and update.

BusLogic and LSI Logic adapters have parallel interfaces. The LSI Logic SAS adapter has a serial interface. The LSI Logic adapter has improved performance and works better with generic SCSI devices. The LSI Logic adapter is also compatible with ESX Server 2.0 and later.

PVSCSI adapters are high-performance storage adapters that can provide greater throughput and lower CPU utilization. They are best suited for environments where hardware or applications drive a high amount of I/O throughput, such as SAN environments. PVSCSI adapters are not suited for DAS environments.

Some guest operating systems, such as Windows XP, do not include a driver for the LSI Logic or LSI Logic SAS adapter. You must download the driver from the LSI Logic website. Drivers for a Mylex (BusLogic) compatible host bus adapter are not obvious on the LSI Logic website. Search the support area for the numeric string in the model number, for example, search for 958 for BT/KT-958 drivers.

Selecting the VMware Paravirtual SCSI (PVSCSI) Adapter

In a Windows virtual machine:

Since the Windows ISO does not include a driver for the VMware Paravirtual SCSI (PVSCSI) adapter.

1. Add a Floppy Drive and select the driver file from the C:Program Files (x86)VMwareVMware WorkstationResources*.flp folder on the Windows host.

   If you are running a Windows virtual machine on a Linux host, the driver is saved in the /usr/lib/vmware/resources folder by default.

2. During the Windows setup, select Load Driver > Browse and select the PVSCSI adapter driver file.

In a Linux virtual machine:

The Linux distribution already includes the PVSCSI driver.

For more information about driver support, see the VMware Guest Operating System Installation Guide. For guest operating system support information, known issues, and SATA support, see the VMware Compatibility Guide available on the VMware website.

Microsoft provides a SCSI Port driver as a standard feature of the Microsoft Windows storage architecture. The SCSI Port driver streamlines the Windows storage subsystem by emulating a simplified SCSI adapter. Storage class drivers load on top of the port driver. This means that you can write storage class drivers for Windows with minimal concern for the unique hardware features of each SCSI adapter.

The emulation capabilities of the SCSI Port driver also allow you to develop minidrivers that are much simpler to design and code than a monolithic port driver. In other words, using the SCSI Port driver allows you to focus on developing a miniport driver that handles the particular features of your adapter.

To use the SCSI Port support routines, link to one of the SCSI Port support libraries, scsiport.lib or scsiwmi.lib. These SCSI Port libraries handle all interaction between the miniport driver and the hardware abstraction layers (HAL) of the operating system. Miniport drivers must not link directly to the HAL support library, hal.lib, nor should they link directly to the ntoskrnl.lib or libcntpr.lib support libraries. SCSI miniport drivers that do so are not eligible for a Windows logo.
