SCSI device on the Virtual I/O Server.
Figure 2-1 Relationship between physical and virtual SCSI on Virtual I/O Server
As mentioned earlier, client partitions access their assigned storage through a
virtual SCSI client adapter. While the Virtual I/O Server may be presenting entire
disks, logical volumes, or file-backed devices from physical SCSI or Fibre
Channel adapters to a client through the vhost adapters, the client sees them all
as virtual SCSI disk devices. The following command shows how a client partition
sees the virtual SCSI device:
# lsdev -c disk -s vscsi
