SCSI on 3.0.4?

How do I setup a .vdi file to be seen as a SCSI disk under VBox 3.0.4? I looked in the manual and can't find reference on how to set it up. The Manual for 2.1.0 had some info on section 9.15, but that seems to be gone in 3.0.4. Anyone? All I want to do is to set a virtual disk I converted from vmware as a scsi disk using lsilogic controller.

Thanks! Now, how do I do that using VBoxManage? This is a headless host.

You mean editing the .xml file for the specific vm?

I assumed that you had access to the GUI, thus able to change the setting from there. Else, indeed, either the command line with VBoxManage, or edit the XML file. Here is the isolated part for it:
Code: Select all
<StorageControllers>
<StorageController name="IDE" type="PIIX4" PortCount="2"/>
<StorageController name="SCSI" type="LsiLogic" PortCount="16">
<AttachedDevice type="HardDisk" port="0" device="0">
<Image uuid="{b4fd1af0-df91-4cbe-9e80-c1fd3a8a7732}"/>
</AttachedDevice>
</StorageController>
</StorageControllers>

So, what would be the VBoxManage command to setup the SCSI drive? I bet I passed that chapter entry a few times now.

You can always edit your XML file to my example. The code is somewhat like this, taken from the output of
VBoxManage modifyvm:
Code: Select all
[--scsi on|off]
[--scsiport<1-16> none|<uuid>|<filename>]
[--scsitype LsiLogic|BusLogic]
