I bought a FC device which exposes a SCSI process to the clients.
I connected that FC device to ESX. On the HBA, I can see that share is coming as a "SCSI processor". But there is no way to provide that "SCSI processor" to individual VM's.
I tried to add as a "SCSI device" to VM's. But that option was greyed out.
I could not add as a RDM disk since FC device did not expose the share as a "SCSI Disk".
Just to experiment, I used VMware I/O pass through and provide that HBA to a particular VM. In that case, I was able to see "SCSI processor" type device on VM.
I can't use this configuration since it has lot of limitations.
My question:
Is there a way to provide "SCSI processor" type device to individual VM's(without using Direct I/O)
