It seems there is a contradiction in the recommended/default disk controller for VMware. The global setting shows `ide` as the default, and `ide` is listed as a valid option. <img width="839" height="74" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5788ecee-c891-4d1c-a5e7-931be4bbd75a"; /> <img width="1013" height="55" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7f17bccd-0542-41fc-8c01-1f4448fc75a8"; /> However, when an instance is created without specifying a controller, the guest OS actually sees a SCSI controller, even though the instance details still show `ide`. <img width="717" height="161" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c8f1310a-380a-4944-a2da-85b7f44e537b"; /> On the other hand, when resizing a volume, the workflow appears to prefer `ide`, and that always fails claiming `ide` is not supported. <img width="446" height="339" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/fd815035-614d-4891-9fe4-0b907a083713"; /> Looking at the code, it first checks for `scsi`, then for `ide`, and falls back to `osdefault` otherwise. That makes it look like `scsi` or `osdefault` is the effective default. In another part of the code, it even explicitly returns `scsi` as the default. <img width="1211" height="258" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9d0554f2-8c4b-4dcc-8fde-5920105ef659"; /> <img width="718" height="174" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/47195b93-de4f-4447-ae48-01472e3c5b6f"; /> So at this point I am unsure what the intended or recommended default actually is, but it seems clear that using `ide` does not work in my tests. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
