[one-users] vmware and scsi disk setup

[Tino Vazquez]

Hi Michael,

The SCSI configuration of a disk is better left our to OpenNebula,
rather than setting it manually. Could you try setting a disk like:

DISK=[IMAGE_ID="0", DEV_PREFIX="sd"]

and remove the DATA_VMX field altogether (although keeping the DATA field)?

Best regards,

-Tino
