Disks, tapes, and optical devices are supported as virtual SCSI devices. This topic describes how those devices function in a virtualized environment and provides information on what devices are supported.
The Virtual I/O Server might virtualize, or export, disks, tapes, and optical devices, such as CD-ROM drives and DVD drives, as virtual devices. For a list of supported disks and optical devices, see the datasheet available on the Virtual I/O Server Support for UNIX® servers and Midrange servers Web site. For information about configuring virtual SCSI devices, see Creating the virtual target device on the Virtual I/O Server.
