This question might be better suited to server fault, so I apologize in advance if that's the case.
I have created a virtual machine with Oracle's Virtual Box (guest OS Windows 7 x64). On the storage tab in the settings menu, the storage tree window is auto populated with an IDE controller that points to the DVD drive and a SATA controller that points to a VDI disk.
When I run the diskpart command on the host OS it tells me that the disk type is RAID. When I run the same command on the guest OS it tells me that the disk type is SATA.
Is there a way to get the guest OS to see the same controller as the host OS (that being an Intel(R) ICH8M-E/ICH9M-E/5 Series SATA RAID Controller) or at least see the disk type as a RAID disk instead of a SATA disk?
1Well... the controllers point to very different things. The Host controller points to the host disks, and the guest controller points to the VDI image. The VDI image is not a RAID. Do you want the guest OS to see the host OS's disk drives instead of the virtual ones? – Darth Android – 2012-06-27T22:34:00.597
No, but close. I want the guest OS to see disks that are identical to the ones of the host's (to the extent that that is realistically possible). – graf_ignotiev – 2012-06-27T22:52:39.070
