Disk serial number or UUID is not legitimate or unique.' got my attention.\r\n\r\nresearch leads me to closed issue 'empty disk serial number #545'. from this input i added 'disk.EnableUUID=\"true\"' to my vmx file. restarted rockstor still shows up mentioned red box and warning for disks? via ssh to esxi prooving with 'vmkfstools -J getuuid' shows up an uuid for each vmdk!\r\n\r\nso, need help to live with the red boxes for disks. whats the problem here? \r\nthx in advance\r\noliver"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/rockstor/rockstor-core/issues/comments/109580004","html_url":"https://github.com/rockstor/rockstor-core/issues/666#issuecomment-109580004","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/rockstor/rockstor-core/issues/666","id":109580004,"user":{"login":"phillxnet","id":2521585,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2521585?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/phillxnet","html_url":"https://github.com/phillxnet","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/phillxnet/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/phillxnet/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/phillxnet/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/phillxnet/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/phillxnet/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/phillxnet/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/phillxnet/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/phillxnet/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/phillxnet/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-06-06T13:25:52Z","updated_at":"2015-06-06T13:25:52Z","body":"I think I see the problem (at least for vda block devices):-\r\n\r\n/usr/bin/lsblk -P -o NAME,MODEL,SERIAL,SIZE,TRAN,VENDOR,HCTL,TYPE,FSTYPE,LABEL,UUID\r\n\r\non a vda (a virtio drive in KVM) gives the following:-\r\n\r\nNAME=\"vda\" MODEL=\"\" SERIAL=\"\" SIZE=\"2G\" TRAN=\"\" VENDOR=\"0x1af4\" HCTL=\"\" TYPE=\"disk\" FSTYPE=\"\" LABEL=\"\" UUID=\"\"\r\n\r\nso no serial from lsblk but my /etc/libvirt/qemu/rockstor3.7.xml has my fake serial entered via Virtual Machine Manager:-\r\n<disk type='file' device='disk'>\r\n      <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/>\r\n      <source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/original-test-volume.qcow2'/>\r\n      <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>\r\n      <serial>11111111111111111111</serial>\r\n      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x09' function='0x0'/>\r\n    </disk>\r\nImagination is a great thing, at least I expect it is.\r\n\r\nBut:-\r\nudevadm info --query=all --name=/dev/vda | grep ID_SERIAL\r\ngives:-\r\nE: ID_SERIAL=11111111111111111111\r\nMy shiny serial.\r\n\r\n@oliver68 could you also try (as well as Suman's suggested command) the following udevadmin command on your sdb once you've done what you can to give it a serial, it might be that your disk.EnableUUID=\"true\" also awards it a serial.  My vda still has no UUID, just need to see what udevadm can see on your Esxi system as what we are really after is the serial number which identifies the drive rather than a partition (UUID)\r\n\r\nudevadm info /sys/class/block/sdb\r\n\r\nor whatever you problem device is called\r\n\r\nPlease post the output of Suman's command and the above udevadm command (adjusted to reference a problem device)\r\n"}}
