Adapter Types

The library can select the following adapters:

• VIXDISKLIB_ADAPTER_IDE – Virtual disk acts like ATA, ATAPI, PATA, SATA, and so on. You might select this adapter type when it is specifically required by legacy software.
• VIXDISKLIB_ADAPTER_SCSI_BUSLOGIC – Virtual SCSI disk with Buslogic adapter. This is the default on some platforms and is usually recommended over IDE due to higher performance.
• VIXDISKLIB_ADAPTER_SCSI_LSILOGIC – Virtual SCSI disk with LSI Logic adapter. Windows Server 2003 and most Linux virtual machines use this type by default. Performance is about the same as Buslogic.
