4 <title>Virtual I/O Device SCSI Hard Disk Controller</title>
5 <body>
6 <p>The use of hard disk controllers is described at <xref href="harddiskcontrollers.dita"/>. In addition to those listed, virtio-scsi is an experimental feature.</p>
7 <p><b outputclass="bold">Virtual I/O Device SCSI</b> is a standard to connect virtual storage devices like hard disks or optical drives to a VM. Recent Linux and Windows versions support these devices, but Windows needs additional drivers. Drivers are available from Oracle Support.</p>
8 <note>
9 <p>The virtio-scsi controller will only be seen by OSes with device support for it. In particular, <i>there is no built-in support in Windows</i>. So Windows will not see such disks unless you install additional drivers.</p>
10 </note>
11 <p>Up to 256 slots can be attached to the virtio-scsi controller, if enabled and supported by the guest OS.</p>
