I see what’s happening. The drives don’t have a serial number which Rockstor requires because without them, the only other unique identifier is disk name, but they are not guaranteed to stay the same across reboots. Is it possible to set these serial numbers at the hypervisor layer? Similar solution exists for VMWare users.
I am not a KVM user at the moment, but I think there are several out there in the community. Can someone help here?
The other solution is to set serial numbers via udev rules on the vm. This could work if the device names are guaranteed by the hypervisor to remain same. See this post on how to do that.
