Thanks Tom,

see my config file (not ide:1 - you need ide1:)

Code:
name: winxp-sp3
ide2: none,media=cdrom
vlan0: rtl8139=DA:B4:B7:B5:12:25
bootdisk: ide0
ostype: wxp
ide0: LVM-on-iscsi2:vm-103-disk-1
ide1: /dev/sde
memory: 512
sockets: 1

Hi Tom,

sorry for the example. I mean ide1: i have make a mistake.

Here is my qm conf

ide2: local:iso/openfiler-2.3-x86-disc1.iso,media=cdrom
vlan0: e1000=FA:4B:2A:A1:9F:86
bootdisk: ide0
ostype: other
ide0: local:113/vm-113-disk-1.raw
memory: 512
sockets: 1
ide1: /dev/sdb


qm start 113 gives me:

proxmox-testserver:~# qm start 113
unable to parse volume ID '/dev/sdb'

Its a Samsung HDD.

and the samsung HDD is on /dev/sdb (on the Proxmox VE host)?

And you use the latest version of 1.4 - run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade to make sure and test again.
 
Hi Tom,

yes the Samsung HDD is on /dev/sdb. Latest Update

In theory, it's also possible to add a drive to a running system ("drive_add" in KVM monitor).

Unfortunately, I was not able to add a drive (with "drive_add") so that it's visible in the guest.
 
I am having this same exact issue with all nodes in my cluster after running:

apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -y
pveam update

I use ghost to provision KVM so mounting a preexisting hdd with Ghost files is essential. I cannot provision untill this is fixed which is a big issue.

This was all working perfectly before i ran the upgrade, so there must be an issue with the latest version.
 
you are in the wrong forum (1.x)!
 
as workaround, add it manually in the VMID.conf file.
