+The VMware vCenter VMDK driver supports the adapter types ``LSI Logic Parallel``,
+``BusLogic Parallel``, ``LSI Logic SAS``, ``VMware Paravirtual`` and ``IDE`` for
+volumes. Use the ``vmware:adapter_type`` extra spec key to specify the adapter
+type. The following table captures the mapping for adapter types:
+
+.. list-table:: Extra spec entry to adapter type mapping

+the config option ``vmware_adapter_type``.
