Adding a Disk for the Pool

The preferred way to present storage to a DataCore virtual machine (VM) would be raw device mapping.

Identifying the Disk

1. Identify the disks/devices that are available to the Promox (PVE) host and which of them are to be connected to DataCore VM.
2. Display the existing devices using the following CLI command:

find /dev/disk/by-id/ -type l|xargs -I{} ls -l {}|grep -v -E '[0-9]$' |sort -k11|cut -d' ' -f9,10,11,12

Output:



3. Use the SCSI string with the corresponding serial number of the disk for the mapping.

Adding a Physical Device as a New Virtual SCSI Disk

Establish the new connection using the following command:

For Example: qm set 400 -scsi1 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600605b000b040f02c67295fc0c3313c

Output:

Verifying the Configuration File

Use the following command to check the configuration file:
