Hello,
I'm currently looking for a way to automate the add disk + scripts withint the OS. I'm having a hard time to find the correlation between my test machine and VMware.
In vmware when I browse into vm.config.hardware.device, I can find the info, the scsi controller id and the disks associated with it, and normally it will show up as 0:0:0:0 for the first disk on the controller 0. No suprise there!
But I've seen on some newer machines that the controllers might show up on the scsi id: 34:0:0:0, or 35:0:0:0, I even had a case where I had controller 0 and controller 2, one on 30 and the other on 34. I've added a new controller as controller 1, and in the OS it shows up on 35. But it seems that this logic was working before for others, I've found several posts about it: Match Linux SCSI Devices (sdX) to Virtual Disks in VMware – Life in the network
And this is working on some of my machine but not all, can't find the reason about it. Any idea ?
