Ilya,
While I am agree that we need variable support, it's a bit complex to put
together.
Basically you could have multiple clusters with different ESXi versions. Worse
yet, within the same cluster you could have multiple ESXi versions (I know this
is a bad design). Its much easier to set the default know applicable config
that will work on range of hypervisors, vs chasing latest/gratest.
If it's a global setting change, its probably something fairly simple to do.
How do you see this being implemented?
The way I was seeing this: give the type on a per template basis. The
CloudStack documentation is quite clear, the supported versions of
VMWare are 4.1 or 5.0 (and up). I will have to double check, but I
think the four SCSI types were part of VMWare 4.1, so technically, is
shouldn't be an issue since all of the current types in 5.1 appears to
be part of the 4.1 tree as well. I think that LSI Parallel is the only
type available if the hardware version is 4 (Fusion type hypervisors),
while others are available if version is 7 (default ESX version).
Thanks!
Regards
Ilya

Subject: Re: VMWare SCSI Controller Type
Hi,
I posted this in the users mailing-list, but I would like to hear from the dev
side about it since I did not have satisfaction on the answers :)
Basically, there are 4 different SCSI controller type within VMWare 5.1
(PVSCSI,BUS,SAS, and Parallel). We should be able to select the type from
within CloudStack, and deploy a template with the proper type. I guess it
would be a good feature to add. What do you think?
Thanks!

Hi,
We ran into an issue today with a Windows 2008 template. The
template has been created in another VMWare 5.1 cluster using LSI
SAS as the SCSI controller. We imported that template in
CloudStack, and we noticed that CS deploys the VM using the LSI
Parallel controller type instead. That results in a Blue Screen.
We didn't find anything in CS to change that behavior. Is this
something planned for the future? (ie. when we create the
template, we can select the controller type if SCSI is selected).
Thanks!
