Disk product and serial on guest machine

[Mirmanium]

Hello,

I am new user of proxmox after several years with vsphere and I am really happy so far. Congratulations to the whole community who mantains and upgrades this great product.

While I am still familiarizing with configurations, I followed this guide to add couple of disks to my linux machine. Although guide is well explained and I have not any issue adding these disks, when I try to see the specs of them from my linux guest I see the following info after executing command "lshw -class disk -class storage":



I am wondering if there is any way to passtrough the real product and serial from physical disks to guest machine. I could do this in vsphere and it reduce complexity figuring out disk you have attached to guest machine.
I tried SCSI, SATA, ide, Virtio block but non of them seems to work.

Thank you,

hi,

yes you can, but this isn't recommended for production use (as it hinders a variety of functionality, such as live migration of VMs between cluster nodes).

if you're still interested start reading here[0]

Thank you @oguz for your answer.
I will just add disks following the recomended way even if info is not share btw host<->guest.
