Hi Rene.
I specifically need the scsi support (virtio-scsi).
I do know about the virtio-block support, which results in /dev/vd*
devices as you say.
From what I read even EL6 earlier than 6.3 does not support virtio-scsi
Alternatively, does oVirt support an emulated scsi adapter of a
different type that would allow me to see scsi disks?
may i ask why do you need the virtual disks to specifically be scsi?

Paul

If you're installing the OS on a VirtIO disk this is done automatically
by anaconda. I just installed RHEL 5 on oVirt 3.3 with VirtIO disk and
everything worked out of the box.

Didn't test CentOS but RHEL 5 is working fine.
