  • How to change the LSI Logic Parallel controller to VMWare Paravirtual controller in RHEL 6, 7?
  • We are migrating VMs with LSI controllers to Paravirtual controllers, but reboot fails due to boot disk being Paravirtual.
  • Anytime we update the controllers from LSI to Paravirtual, system will not boot due to drivers/pathing in the bootloader.
