When you use qemu-img, the resulting VMDK has sparse format. You should
use vmware_disktype="sparse", not vmware_disktype="preallocated"

Title:
  instance failed to boot which image disk adapter type is scsi

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I followed by OpenStack Configuration reference[1], download the cloud image[2]
  and convert to vmdk:

  $ qemu-img convert -f qcow2 trusty-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img -O
  vmdk ubuntu.vmdk

  and then use glance image-create command to upload image:

  $ glance image-create --name "ubuntu-thick-scsi" --is-public True --disk-format vmdk --container-format bare --property vmware_adaptertype="lsiLogic"  \  
     --property vmware_disktype="preallocated" --property vmware_ostype="ubuntu64Guest" < ubuntu.vmdk

  I created an instance in dashboard successful,  But it failed to enter guest system.
  I doubt the instance does not have a controller to support scsi disk, when using ide , instance runs well.
