I can't make a pool in Truenas because it comes up with the error "Warning: There are 12 disks available that have non-unique serial numbers. Non-unique serial numbers can be caused by a cabling issue and adding such disks to a pool can result in lost data."

Before this I tried to "apt install lshw" but it came up with the error "Unable to locate package lshw" so I gave up on it and added each of the 10 disks and 2 SSD's manually using "qm set 100 -scsi1 /dev/disk/by-id/" but the truenas error came up as the serial numbers, model or rotation rate of the drives didn't get detected.

I read on another proxmox forum post that to fix the Truenas error I have to get Disk Passthrough to work. What do I do now?
