Adapter type
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The VMware vCenter VMDK driver supports the adapter types ``LSI Logic Parallel``,
``BusLogic Parallel``, ``LSI Logic SAS``, ``VMware Paravirtual`` and ``IDE`` for
volumes. Use the ``vmware:adapter_type`` extra spec key to specify the adapter
type. The following table captures the mapping for adapter types:
.. list-table:: Extra spec entry to adapter type mapping
:header-rows: 1
* - Adapter type
- Extra spec key
- Extra spec value
* - BusLogic Parallel
- ``vmware:adapter_type``
- ``busLogic``
* - IDE
- ``vmware:adapter_type``
- ``ide``
* - LSI Logic Parallel
- ``vmware:adapter_type``
- ``lsiLogic``
* - LSI Logic SAS
- ``vmware:adapter_type``
- ``lsiLogicsas``
* - VMware Paravirtual
- ``vmware:adapter_type``
- ``paraVirtual``
If you do not specify the adapter type, the default is the value specified by
the config option ``vmware_adapter_type``.
Use vCenter storage policies to specify back-end data stores
