The VM definition would not need to change the scsi adapter property.<br>(2) potentially allow using the vmware pvscsi controller in ovirt. In my particular use case this should allow EL5 guests to be used (and have a supported scsi controller once 'open-vm-tools' is installed) in Ovirt. Ovviously we'd want to steer people into using virtio-scsi wherever possible though, as has been discussed previously.<br><br>Please let us know on list if you do get to this.<br>Thanks for your efforts,<br>Paul<br><div style="display: block;" class="yahoo_quoted"> <br> <br> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york,
