I wrote a blog article in Oct 2010 on this same topic that is still frequently referenced today so I figure it was due for an update.

So what should I choose as my vSCSI controller and what are the differences between them?
Dec 18, 2008 Does anyone at VMWare know of or have access to the drivers to allow Windows 7 to be installed in an ESX 3.5 / ESXi infrastructure? During installation, the hard disks are not recognized which means that the LSI Adapter, Ultra320 SCSI 2000 series, w/1020/1030 driver is not inbox. Download LSI controller drivers or install DriverPack Solution software for driver scan and update. LSI MegaRAID Virtual Device. Dell SAS 6/iR Adapter. Compaq Integrated Dual Channel Wide Ultra2 SCSI Controller. Compaq Integrated Smart Array Controller. To view all drivers for your Precision R7610, go to Drivers and downloads. LSI SAS9271-8i Storage Controller Driver This package provides LSI SAS9271-8i Storage Controller Driver and is supported on Precision R7610 that is running the following Windows Operating Systems: Windows 7. Copy the LSI Logic disk controller driver file located at%systemroot% system32 drivers symmpi.sys to the source for the conversion. Copy the VMware SCSI disk controller device driver file (if present) located in%systemroot% system32 drivers vmscsi.sys to the source for the conversion. Click Start Run, type regedit, and press Enter.
First, it’s important to remind everyone that when you select the Guest OS for a new virtual machine

this automatically makes a selection for which vSCSI controller to use based on what drivers are available in the OS distribution. So be sure to select the correct Guest OS to start in the right place.
Table 1.1 lists the device driver files for MegaRAID controllers. The driver files are available on the Driver and Documentation CD that accompanied your MegaRAID controller. LSI Logic updates the MegaRAID device drivers frequently. To ensure you have the current version of this driver, download the driver from the LSI Logic web site.
Proline drivers download. Let’s look at the options available today:
- BusLogic – this was one of the first emulated vSCSI controllers available in the VMware platform. The earliest versions of Windows has this driver available by default which made it easy when installing that particular OS. It wasn’t however as performant as the LSI Logic driver since Windows’ driver was limited to a queue depth of 1, so often one would manually load the LSI Logic driver instead. While still available and used occasionally (Is anyone still running Win2K?), it should be considered legacy.
- LSI Logic Parallel (formerly knows as just LSI Logic) – this was the other emulated vSCSI controller available originally in the VMware platform. Most operating systems had a driver that supported a queue depth of 32 and it became a very common choice, if not the default.
- LSI Logic SAS – This is an evolution of the parallel driver to support a new future facing standard. It began to grown popularity when Microsoft required its use for MCSC within Windows 2008 or newer.
- VMware Paravirtual (aka PVSCSI) – this vSCSI controller is virtualization aware and was been designed to support very high throughput with minimal processing cost and is therefore the most efficient driver. In the past, there were issues if it was used with virtual machines that didn’t do a lot of IOPS, but that was resolved in vSphere 4.1.
Are there performance differences between them?
- PVSCSI and LSI Logic Parallel/SAS are essentially the same when it comes to overall performance capability. PVSCSI, however, is more efficient in the number of host compute cycles that are required to process the same number of IOPS. This means that if you have a very storage IO intensive virtual machine, this is the controller to choose to ensure you save as many cpu cycles as possible that can then be used by the application or host. Most modern operating systems that can drive high IO support one of these two controllers.
- Here’s a detailed whitepaper that takes a closer look at PVSCSI vs LSI Logic SAS for IOPS, Latency and Cost. While it does support that PVSCSI is more capable, keep in mind most customers are not producing 1 million IOPS so for real life the difference is negligible.
How many vSCSI adapters are supported per virtual machine?
- It’s also worth noting that you can configure a total of 4 vSCSI adapters per virtual machine. To provide the best performance, one should also distribute virtual disk across as many vSCSI adapters as possible. This configuration provides the capability to process more IO simultaneously and benefit from additional queues if necessary.

What about AHCI SATA?
Lsi Ultra320 Scsi Driver
- This is a new storage controller available with vSphere 5.5 and virtual hardware 10. It allows you to connect a large amount of storage to a virtual machine but it wasn’t designed to be as efficient as the PVSCSI or LSI Logic controllers and therefore should not be used with performance sensitive applications.
