[one-users] vmware and scsi disk setup

[Michael Curran]

I am trying to get my windows hosts to deploy with SCSI devices instead of IDE

I have modified the disk type to be SD instead of HD - and it starts up with SCSI now , however I don't think its building the VMX file correctly as I get this error

Tue Aug 20 09:44:08 2013 [VMM][I]: out:
Tue Aug 20 09:44:08 2013 [VMM][I]: error: Failed to start domain one-24

I have tried setting the RAW settings for SCSI env. In the VMX file, but it puts the disk name before it finds if the SCSI device is present.

scsi0:0.fileName = "/vmfs/volumes/51ff8fa7-5a076f91-1cb4-b499bac14752/24/disk.0/disk.vmdk"
scsi0.present = "true"
scsi0.sharedBus = "none"
scsi0.virtualDev = "lsisas1068"
scsi0:0.present = "true "
scsi0:0.deviceType = "scsi-hardDisk"
sched.scsi0:0.shares = "normal"
sched.scsi0:0.throughputCap = "off"
scsi0.pciSlotNumber = "21"
scsi0.sasWWID = "50 05 05 60 ed 9f 4c 80"

Are there any recommended best practices for this type of setup? Here is what my template looks like
