Dear Members,
Firstly I am new to Proxmox and it seems to be a great product. Congrats to the Team at proxmox for coming up with such a wonderful product. We are a startup and once we have some funds we will certainly buy a subscription soon.
We have bought some drives. - 6TB Toshiba 12Gbps SAS 3.5" Enterprise HDD and the WWN number of the drive is shown as the serial number in Proxmox VE and not the actual serial number of the drive for the SAS Drives and the actual serial number of the drive for the SSD which is strange but manageable once known.
I came across a strange issue / bug in proxmox or maybe I am reading it wrongly. The WWN Number being reported gets incremented by one. for eg. if the WWN number is ABCD1234 on the drive it will reported as ABCD1235 in proxmox or if the actual WWN number is ABCD12EB on the drive it will reported as ABCD12EC.
I could figure this out as i had drives with different numbers/digits ending for all the drives but think about the scenario where you have 10 drives with WWN numbers as ABCD1211, ABCD1212. ABCD1213, ABCD1214, ABCD1215. ABCD1216, ABCD1217, ABCD1218, ABCD1219, ABCD1220. Now imagine a situation where lets say ABCD1214 fails and since the drive being reported in proxmox is ABCD1215 you remove the wrong drive and its a RAID 5. all your data is lost. This is either being read wrongly by me or is a serious bug that needs to be corrected.
I have attached the pictures of the physical drives and the proxmox drive listing to prove my point.

Preet
