Changing a VMs SCSI Controller Bus Type from BusLogic to LSI Logic

I'm creating a new VM with 'New-VM' but the scsi controller that gets created by default is of the type BusLogic, i require an LSI Logic controller.

Whats the easiest way to accomplish this?

The line ' "scsi0.virtualDev = "buslogic" ' needs to be changed to ' "scsi0.virtualDev = "lsislogic" ' in the .vmx file of the guest. That can be scripted, as well, as shutting down and starting up the guest again. But as you may have read in the KB, the guest not reboot and then you need to act manually.
