Hi @OMC_Repairs,

This sounds like the common issue of the disk not having a unique ID in VMWare systems, and the fix is in the official documentation.
This is due to Rockstor’s disk UUID fixation.

Please see http://rockstor.com/docs/quickstart.html, with the fix located in http://rockstor.com/docs/quickstart.html#id2.

This will likely require a reinstall of the Rockstor OS.
