[one-users] esxi vm instantiation not on scsi disk

[Michael Curran]

So - I am having an issue with building VM's in ESXi from templates

The root drive always instantiates as IDE and not SCSI - and no SCSI adapter is added that would allow me to add more disks to the VM
Looking over this part of scripts_common.sh for VMKFSTOOLS - it doesn't appear to look like the build task from VMware's site - I don't see the -a that identifies the BUS type

I have added this to the actual disk IMAGE

BUS="scsi"

And these to the template

DISK=[
  BUS="scsi",
  IMAGE_ID="0" ]


RAW=[
  DATA="<devices><controller type='scsi' index='0' model='lsilogic'/></devices>",
  TYPE="vmware" ]


But never see a SCSI attached disk as the primary disk - always IDE

Any suggestions?

    DST=$1
    FSTYPE=${2:-ext3}
    SIZE=${3:-0}

    # Specific options for different FS
    case "$FSTYPE" in

            echo ""

            if [ $? -eq 1 ] ; then

            fi

            echo "$VMKFSTOOLS -U $DST/disk.vmdk; \

            return 0
            ;;
        *)
            OPTS=""
            ;;
    esac

    echo "$MKFS -t $FSTYPE $OPTS $DST"
}
