Feature #4509

Additional SCSI Controller with per-disk configuration
Description
It would be useful if there was the option to add an additional SCSI controller when provisioning a new host or creating a compute resource. Sometimes we need to add multiple disks and they need to have a different type of SCSI controller.

It would be very very useful.
By the way, I think that this issue should be related to #1946

Is there the capability of selecting a different SCSI controller per disk? I think right now there is only the option to select a single SCSI controller that is used for all disks.

I am not so familiar with VMWare, but as far as I know only one scsi controller can be set per server (I may be wrong though).
Also please see this note https://github.com/fog/fog-vsphere/blob/7ab0298bd08a2444c089cb9ca520b73f24d05dfc/lib/fog/vsphere/models/compute/server.rb#L48 regarding that.
@Christian Holzheimer, would love more info on the matter. Thanks :)

According to https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc%2FGUID-5872D173-A076-42FE-8D0B-9DB0EB0E7362.html it's possible. As said, fog-vsphere does not support it so the patch there would be required. A good start would probably be to report fog-vsphere issue.

It seems that in the last fog-vsphere release (1.3.0) there's a feature to add a scsi controller to a vm.

Angelo, that is true. Thank you for the hint. However the added functionality won't help as it only allows you to add a scsi controller to an existing VM. What we need is code, that creates the vm with the desired scsi controllers.
Shlomi, I am very interested in seeing this feature happen. If you don't mind I'll take a look to patch fog-vsphere to support what we need and then help with reviewing the Foreman PR.
