Hi,
I am using ESX 4.1 and created a W3K3-32bit VM with BusLogic SCSI driver. When I tried to installed Windows 2003, it initially did not detect the hard disk. So I installed vmscsi.1.2.0.4.flp driver which helped in detecting hard disk and installation was successful. Everything is working fine now, but now everytime I power-on the VM, it always display the following error message in “Events” tab. I am not sure if this error message is just a message or something critical. My test specifically need BusLogic SCSI driver, so I cannot change to LSILogic driver.
Message from esxserver1.bluearc-qa.calsoftinc.com: The guest operating system is Windows Server 2003 and one or more virtual SCSI devices are installed in the virtual machine. Windows Server 2003 does not support the BusLogic SCSI adapter that VMware ESX currently uses for virtual SCSI devices. Install the VMware driver in the virtual machine. Download the driver from "http://vmware.com/info?id=43". Click OK to continue or Cancel to cancel.
Also just to check, what should be SCSI Driver name in “Device Manager”. I have attached a screenshot which is showing “VMWare SCSI Controller”. I mean to ask should it be “BusLogic SCSI Controller” or this is correct?
In vmx, it is not showing any entry for scsi0.virtualDev i.e. neither LSILogic nor BusLogic. Infact "scsi0.virtualDev" is completely missing.
Any help is highly appreciated.

scsi0.virtualDev undefined means
scsi0.virtualDev= "buslogic"
Thanks Continuum.
But do you have clue why this error message is shown up in Events?
Thanks
Prasad
you may have a line in the vmx similar to
buslogic.nodriver =
I do not remember how exactly that line may look - anyway - if you post a vmware.log I can check
I looked it up
try
buslogic.noDriver = "false"
try the line I posted above
I have tried, but it is missing.
it is missing ???
what is missing ?
