Check this i found in old post when same has resolved.

If you really wanted to use it for the install, you would have to extract the driver from the VMware Tools ISO and add it to a floppy image.

Best practice for performance should be using the Paravirtual disk. It has a bit less CPU overhead and a bit less latency but I don't think it's very noticeable.

can not do Microsoft Clustering Service (MSCS) with para virtual SCSI disks. if u need high performance of I/O  (such as data base) you can use para virtual SCSI.
