Passthrough disk

Post by geetasg »

My physical host has 8 fiber disks. Is there a way to directly expose those disks to Virtual box guests?
Thanks in advance.

Geeta, You might want to browse the Forum Posting Guide. This contains some useful tips on how to search for VBox knowledge and how to frame Qs.

One of the things that he FPG asks is that you don't cross post. I was about to answer this when I thought "hummnn, someone was asking about HBAs a few days ago", so I checked and it was one geetasg.

Just because you don't like an answer, asking the Q again isn't going to help. The nearest that you'll get is if windows sees these as \\.\PhysicalDiskN then you will be able to mount them using the createrawvmdk command, but I suspect that the HBA and LUN structure isn't going to let you.
