On the configuration page for your virtual machine, you can view the information described in the following table.
| Item | Description |

General properties |
The name of the virtual machine, as well as a description of its behavior when the Virtual Server service starts or stops. This is also where you configure the Virtual Machine Helper account. |

The number of virtual SCSI adapters installed, their names, SCSI adapter IDs, and the bus to which they are attached. There can be up to seven virtual SCSI drives on each of four SCSI buses, for a total of 28 per virtual machine. However, there can only be one shared virtual SCSI drive per SCSI bus. Shared virtual SCSI drives are used as the quorum disk when clustering two virtual machines. |
Network adapters |
The number of virtual network adapters installed, their names, the network to which they are connected, and their media access control (MAC) addresses. |
