Error when scanning disk

[phillxnet (Philip Guyton)]

@e_hink27 Hello again.
Please see my response to your other post with the same error report:

Error after installing 3.9.1

@e_hink27 Welcome to the Rockstor community. The error you received is as a result of your system disk not having a unique serial attributed to it from your hypervisor / VM architecture. VMWare perhapse? Please see our Minimum system requirements specifically: All drives must have unique serial numbers (real drives do); not all VM systems default to this as we depend upon udev generated by-id disk names and udev depends upon drive serial to identify uniqueness. Hope that helps.

Essentially you need to instruct your VM host to attribute unique serial numbers to the drives you are passing to Rockstor such as real drives have.

The following thread in this forum addresses this issue for VMware is that is what you are using:

Error scanning for storage

@bridgemarkinc OK. If you search the forum for VMware there are several references for this problem and it’s solution, ie: where @unomagan reported the following config as working for them: Hope that helps.

Hope that helps as well.
