Accessing SCSI Device with Product Suite 2009 running VMWare Player 3.1   
Hi:

We are running QNX Product Suite 2009 under VM Ware Player 3.1.
The Host OS is Windows 7.
We have an Adaptec 2940AU SCSI card installed.
VMWARE player sees the SCSI Controller as a Bus Logic BT946C controller.
We tried using Fsys.aha4scsi which is supposed to work with this controller and used the line:
  Fsys.aha4scsi -a0=0 -a1=0 fsys -n7=hd aha4scsi -a10c0 -i11
( 10c0 is the hex address of the controller and 11 is the interrupt)
We get the following:

  Path =0 -AHA-1540B 50-A
  target =0 lun=0 Direct Access(0)

 then Fsys.aha4scsi terminates ( SIGSEGV at 0005:00001045)

Has anyone been successfully accessing SCSI devices usiing VMWare and Product Suite 2009 ?

 -Thanks,
   Kevin

Hi Kevin,

I've tested the Fsys.aha4scsi under VMWare Workstation 7.1.1 under Linux. 
Driver doesn't terminate but VMWare starts to hog processor. Also VMWare 
shows error message about unsupported SCSI commands. So I think that the 
VMware isn't compatible with the Fsys.aha4scsi.

Oleg,
 I'm having the same problem as Keven, I'm running both Workstation 7.1.1 and VSphere 4.x. I get an illegal request 
message out of Workstation but no message from VSphere - however the install locks up under both about the time the SCSI
 scan timer reaches 10 seconds. It would be nice if VSphere would allow IDE/EIDE driver for the hard disk but you can 
only configure the CD drive using the IDE ports.
I just need VSphere to run QNX 4 no matter what drive it uses.

Can't help with the SCSI config, but if all you need is to run on VMware, then here is how..
Create a new VM in workstation with an IDE drive, get it running as you need, then copy to the ESX server datastore. 
Once the copy is complete, simple browse the datastore to the vmx, then right-click and select "add to inventory". Fire 
it up and you're on your way. ESX will provide Intel network adapters as follows:

Vendor ID      = 8086h, INTEL CORPORATION
Device ID      = 100fh,

Use Net.i82540, and if more than one, specify the index number and logical network number as shown below:

Net.i82540 -I0 -l1 -v &
sleep 4
Net.i82540 -I1 -l2 -v &
sleep 4

Return
