8 The <b outputclass="bold">Storage</b> category in the VM
9 settings enables you to connect virtual hard disk, CD/DVD, and
10 floppy images and drives to your virtual machine.
11 </p>
12 <p>
13 In a real computer, so-called <i>storage
14 controllers</i> connect physical disk drives to the rest of
15 the computer. Similarly, <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> presents virtual storage
16 controllers to a virtual machine. Under each controller, the
17 virtual devices, such as hard disks, CD/DVD or floppy drives,
18 attached to the controller are shown.
19 </p>
20 <note>
21 <p>
22 This section gives a quick introduction to the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>
23 storage settings. See <xref href="storage.dita#storage"/> for a full
24 description of the available storage settings in <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>.

28 If you have used the <b outputclass="bold">Create Virtual
29 Machine</b> wizard to create a machine, you will normally
30 see something like the following:
31 </p>
32 <fig id="fig-storage-settings">
33 <title>Storage Settings for a Virtual Machine</title>
34 <xref href="images/vm-settings-harddisk.png" format="png" platform="htmlhelp">
35 <image href="images/vm-settings-harddisk.png" width="10cm" placement="break">

42 </fig>
43 <p>
44 Depending on the guest OS type that you selected when you created
45 the VM, a new VM includes the following storage devices:
46 </p>
47 <ul>
48 <li>
49 <p><b outputclass="bold">IDE controller.</b> A virtual
50 CD/DVD drive is attached to device 0 on the secondary channel
51 of the IDE controller.
52 </p>
53 </li>
54 <li>
55 <p><b outputclass="bold">SATA controller.</b> This is a
56 modern type of storage controller for higher hard disk data
57 throughput, to which the virtual hard disks are attached.
58 Initially you will normally have one such virtual disk, but as
59 shown in the previous screenshot, you can have more than one.
60 Each is represented by a disk image file, such as a VDI file
61 in this example.
62 </p>
63 </li>
64 </ul>
65 <p>
66 If you created your VM with an older version of <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>,
67 the default storage layout may differ. You might then only have an
68 IDE controller to which both the CD/DVD drive and the hard disks
69 have been attached. This might also apply if you selected an older
70 OS type when you created the VM. Since older OSes do not support
71 SATA without additional drivers, <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> will make sure
72 that no such devices are present initially. See
73 <xref href="harddiskcontrollers.dita#harddiskcontrollers"/>.
74 </p>
75 <p>
76 <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> also provides a <i>floppy
77 controller</i>. You cannot add devices other than floppy
78 drives to this controller. Virtual floppy drives, like virtual
79 CD/DVD drives, can be connected to either a host floppy drive, if
80 you have one, or a disk image, which in this case must be in RAW
81 format.
82 </p>
83 <p>
84 You can modify these media attachments freely. For example, if you
85 wish to copy some files from another virtual disk that you
86 created, you can connect that disk as a second hard disk, as in
87 the above screenshot. You could also add a second virtual CD/DVD
88 drive, or change where these items are attached. The following
89 options are available:
90 </p>
91 <ul>
92 <li>
93 <p>
94 To <b outputclass="bold">add another virtual hard disk, or a
95 CD/DVD or floppy drive</b>, select the storage
96 controller to which it should be added (such as IDE, SATA,
97 SCSI, SAS, floppy controller) and then click the
98 <b outputclass="bold">Add Disk</b> button below the
99 tree. You can then either select <b outputclass="bold">Optical
100 Drive</b> or <b outputclass="bold">Hard
101 Disk</b>. If you clicked on a floppy controller, you
102 can add a floppy drive instead. Alternatively, right-click on
103 the storage controller and select a menu item there.
104 </p>
105 <p>
106 A dialog is displayed, enabling you to select an existing disk
107 image file or to create a new disk image file. Depending on
108 the type of disk image, the dialog is called
109 <b outputclass="bold">Hard Disk Selector</b>,
110 <b outputclass="bold">Optical Disk Selector</b>, or
111 <b outputclass="bold">Floppy Disk Selector</b>.
112 </p>
113 <p>
114 See <xref href="vdidetails.dita#vdidetails"/> for information on the image
115 file types that are supported by <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>.
116 </p>
117 <p>
118 For virtual CD/DVD drives, the image files will typically be
119 in the standard ISO format instead. Most commonly, you will
120 select this option when installing an OS from an ISO file that
121 you have obtained from the Internet. For example, most Linux
122 distributions are available in this way.
123 </p>
124 <p>
125 Depending on the type of disk image, you can set the following
126 <b outputclass="bold">Attributes</b> for the disk image
127 in the right part of the Storage settings page:
128 </p>
129 <ul>
130 <li>
131 <p>
132 The <b outputclass="bold">device slot</b> of the
133 controller that the virtual disk is connected to. IDE
134 controllers have four slots: primary device 0, primary
135 device 1, secondary device 0, and secondary device 1. By
136 contrast, SATA and SCSI controllers offer you up to 30
137 slots for attaching virtual devices.
138 </p>
139 </li>
140 <li>
141 <p><b outputclass="bold">Solid-state Drive</b>
142 presents a virtual disk to the guest as a solid-state
143 device.
144 </p>
145 </li>
146 <li>
147 <p><b outputclass="bold">Hot-pluggable</b> presents a
148 virtual disk to the guest as a hot-pluggable device.
149 </p>
150 </li>
151 <li>
152 <p>
153 For virtual CD/DVD drives, you can select
154 <b outputclass="bold">Live CD/DVD</b>. This means
155 that the virtual optical disk is not removed from when the
156 guest system ejects it.
157 </p>
158 </li>
159 </ul>
160 </li>
161 <li>
162 <p>
163 To <b outputclass="bold">remove an attachment</b>,
164 either select it and click on the
165 <b outputclass="bold">Remove</b> icon at the bottom, or
166 right-click on it and select the menu item.
167 </p>
168 </li>
169 </ul>
170 <p>
171 Removable media, such as CD/DVDs and floppies, can be changed
172 while the guest is running. Since the
173 <b outputclass="bold">Settings</b> window is not available
174 at that time, you can also access these settings from the
175 <b outputclass="bold">Devices</b> menu of your virtual
176 machine window.
