The following sections describe how to use generic SCSI devices in a virtual machine:
  • Generic SCSI on a Windows Host Operating System
  • Device Support
  • Preparing a Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 Guest Operating System to Use SCSI Devices
  • Preparing a Windows NT 4.0 Guest Operating System to Use SCSI Devices
  • Adding a Generic SCSI Device to a Virtual Machine
  • Generic SCSI on a Linux Host Operating System
  • Requirements
  • Avoiding Concurrent Access to a Generic SCSI Device
  • Permissions on a Generic SCSI Device
  • Device Support
  • Adding a Generic SCSI Device to a Virtual Machine
  • Generic SCSI lets a virtual machine run any SCSI device that is supported by the guest operating system in the virtual machine. Generic SCSI gives the guest operating system direct access to SCSI devices connected to the host, such as scanners and tape drives.
