Adding VMware PVSCSI Controllers in VMs
If you do not see "VMware Paravirtual" in the SCSI controller of the virtual appliance, take the following steps:
Click ADD NEW DEVICE > SCSI Controller. In Open New SCI Controller * in the list and set “Change Type” to “VMware Paravirtual” and set “SCSI Bus Sharing” to “None”. Click OK to close the dialog.
Log in to a shell session of the Catalogic DPX Master Server virtual appliance with the dpxadmin account.
Switch to root access by using the following shell command:
$ sudo bash
Load the driver for VMware PVSCSI in the kernel:
# mkinitrd -f -v /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
Shut down the system:
# shutdown now
Repeat Step 1 for SCSI Controller 0 to change the type to "VMware Paravirtual". You can keep SCSI Controller 1 which is VMware Paravirtual.
Power on the VM.
Ensure that the Linux system starts normally and the SCSI Controller 0 and 1 are set to "VMware Paravirtual".
