Issue
A virtual machine was found that is not configured with a SCSI controller.
Impact
You will not be able to hot plug or hot unplug storage for the following virtual machines:
<list of virtual machine names>
The ability to hot plug or hot unplug storage makes it easier to manage the storage needs of a virtual machine without requiring downtime. Virtual machines without SCSI controllers must be shut down before you can add or remove storage.
Resolution
If you do not need to hot plug or hot unplug storage for this virtual machine, no action is required. Otherwise, shut down the virtual machine and add a SCSI controller to the configuration.
To use a SCSI controller to hot plug and hot unplug storage, the guest operating system must be running the current version of integration services.
