Note: You cannot connect a SATA CD-ROM device to a virtual machine on anĮSXi host. These disks are not used as a scratch partition by default because they are seen as remote. SATA disks are considered remote, not local.

For Serial ATA (SATA), a disk connected through supported SAS controllers or supported on-board SATA controllers.

SCSI disk or a local, non-network, RAID LUN with unpartitioned space for the virtual machines.

A boot device must not be shared between ESXi hosts. Use USB, SD and non-USB flash media devices only for ESXi boot bank partitions.
